Etisalat joins Al Ain airshow

This second edition of the annual show features some of the world's finest military and civilian aerobatic teams in flying displays and competition. The show is scheduled for January 24th to the 28th at the Al Ain International Airport.

On behalf of the airshow, Lt Colonel Pilot Mohammad Bin Barrak Al Daheri said, "We are pleased to welcome Etisalat as a Gold Sponsor of this relatively new, but exciting event.

It is gratifying to us that Etisalat has lent its prestige, national stature and enthusiastic support to an event that is attracting world wide attention to Al Ain."

Mr. Nasser bin Abboud Al Falasi, General Manager of Etisalat in Al Ain, said: "We are pleased to support this World Championship for Air Aerobatics in Al Ain. We regard it as a privilege to support this global festival, which reflects the civilized nature of the UAE. It is our duty to the country's institutions and individuals to bolster the city's image and leverage its strength by organizing and hosting such prestigious events."

As the national telecoms provider, Etisalat sponsors charitable projects and local community programs around the country. "The Al Ain Airshow is a natural fit for our Corporate Citizenship Program. Etisalat is proud to be involved in bringing such a first class event to the region, and to the many airshow fans who will attend from across the country," said Ahmed Bin Ali, Manager of Public Relations.
