Thanks to you support, it has been a great year for Bangalore Aviation. We were listed on Mashable as one of 13 aviation journalists/bloggers globally to follow on Twitter. Our readership has touched the quarter-million mark, and we were invited to Germany by Fraport and Lufthansa to see how they are working, together, to make Frankfurt a global hub.
Personally, I combined my old hobby of photography with my passion for aviation and commenced airplane spotting. The local airport operator Bengaluru International Airport Limited (BIAL) supported our spotting efforts and has helped in the formation of the first officially recognised spotting group in India – Aviation Photographers of India (API). We are now making efforts with other airports and hopefully, 2010 will see chapters of API established in Mumbai and New Delhi.
Some of the memorable photos of 2009 are below. Click on the image for a high resolution view. Wishing you a very happy, safe, joyous, and prosperous 2010. We shall return next year.
