Apart from a theatre and an info—tech area, the park will also have space for conducting air shows and other aviation-related adventure sports. For professionals, the park will have a training complex with a flight simulator, aviation and aerospace management school, an aircrew training school, a helipad and a landing strip for smaller aircrafts.
