Mysuru Dasara Air Show 2025: IAF Air Show Set to Thrill Visitors During Dussehra Celebrations

The forthcoming Nada Habba Mysuru Dasara 2025, scheduled from September 22 to October 2, is set to witness a spectacular comeback of the Indian Air Force (IAF) Air Show. After a gap of over one year, the Union Ministry of Defence has granted formal approval for the aerial display, making it one of the star attractions of this year's celebrations.

Sarang Team To Dazzle Mysuru Skies

The Sarang Team of IAF, flying the indigenous Dhruv helicopters developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), will enthrall audiences with breathtaking manoeuvres on September 27. The display promises thrilling formations, precision flying, and high-skill stunts that will light up the Mysuru skies.

Talks On Fighter Jet Participation

Mysuru Deputy Commissioner G. Lakshmikanth Reddy confirmed that the District Administration is in discussions with the Defence Ministry to include fighter jets in the show, adding further grandeur to the event.

CM Siddaramaiah Expresses Gratitude

Following the Defence Ministry's approval, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah officially thanked Defence Minister Rajnath Singh for his consent. In his letter, the CM highlighted that the IAF Air Show would instil pride and patriotism among lakhs of visitors attending the 11-day festival. Siddaramaiah also extended a personal invitation to Rajnath Singh to grace the event, calling his presence a source of encouragement to the people of Karnataka and a testament to their respect for the Armed Forces.

It may be recalled that Siddaramaiah met Rajnath Singh in Delhi on July 9, where he sought permission for the Air Show. Subsequently, DC Lakshmikanth Reddy confirmed an oral nod from the Defence Ministry. With the formal approval now in place, the Dasara Air Show 2025 is officially confirmed.

Past Editions of the Air Show

The Dasara Air Show has previously been conducted in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2023 at the Torchlight Parade Grounds in Bannimantap. Each edition drew massive crowds, leaving spectators in awe of India's defence capabilities.

Mysuru Dasara 2025: A Blend of Culture and Patriotism

The return of the Air Show adds a new dimension to the Mysuru Dasara 2025 celebrations, which already feature grand processions, cultural events, and the iconic Jumbo Savari. With aerial displays, the festival this year will not only celebrate Karnataka's rich culture but also showcase the might and precision of the Indian Air Force.
