This four-day event promises to showcase the precision, skill, and artistry of these elite pilots, captivating spectators with a series of breathtaking displays. The flying displays will be held daily, providing multiple opportunities for attendees to witness incredible performances. The schedule will kick off on 18 September, with the first show set to take off at 10:30 AM Indonesia Central Standard Time (WITA). Subsequent performances for the day are scheduled for 12:30 PM, and 3:30 PM lasting 20 minutes respectively. From September 19 to 21, four flying displays are set to colour the Bali sky from 9:30 AM, 10:30 AM,12:30 PM and 3:30 PM, each lasting 20 minutes. “As Indonesia hosts the Bali International Airshow 2024, we are immensely proud to showcase the exceptional talents of our own Jupiter and Neptunus Aerobatic Teams in the airshow. These flying displays are not just a demonstration of aerial skill and precision but a symbol of our nation’s growing prowess in the aviation and aerospace sectors. Our teams represent the spirit of innovation and excellence that defines Indonesia, and we are excited to share their breathtaking performances with the world,” said H.E. Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment of the Republic of Indonesia. The Jupiter Aerobatic Team, part of the Indonesian Air Force, will fly six KT-1B Wongbee aircraft. These planes, painted in vibrant red and white, are equipped with white smoke generators and will perform complex manoeuvres across the Bali skies. The KT-1B Wongbee, with a wingspan of 10.6 metres and a top speed of 350 knots (648.2 km/h), will allow the team to demonstrate their exceptional aerobatic skills, honed through years of international performances at events like the 2023 Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA) and the 2024 Singapore Airshow. Joining them is the Neptunus Aerobatic Team from the Indonesian Naval Aviation Center, flying six Bonanza G36 light aircraft. Due to the different characteristics of aircraft, the manoeuvres and acrobatics formations performed by the Neptune team differed from those performed by the Jupiter team of the Air Force.
