August 23 is the Day of Moscow at MAKS-2007. And there is a good reason to it. Over 200 companies, which is almost one-third of the total number of Russian exhibitors, are situated in Moscow and Moscow region. There is a special exhibition of Moscow companies featuring airplanes, helicopters and other aircrafts, among them the AU-17 aerostat, recently acquired by the Moscow government for monitoring public events. 

   The Moscow government takes an active part in the business program of the airshow. Today a program of reconstruction and development of regional airports will be presented at the Moscow government’s business centre. The results of the Moscow government’s business program will be announced at MAKS-2007 on August 26.
