The fourth edition of India Aviation is to take place from March 12-16 in Hyderabad, and Rolls-Royce is to display a Trent 1000 scale model at its exhibition area.

Kishore Jayaraman, President, Rolls-Royce India noted that the show offered a great platform for Rolls-Royce to showcase its technology to the growing civil aviation market in India.
