The Göbeklitepe Aviation Festival, a first in Şanlıurfa province, will be jointly held by Haliliye Municipality and the Şanlıurfa branch of the Turkish Aeronautical Association on Sept. 27-28, 2019.

The aviation festival is expected to leave unforgettable marks in Haliliye district and guide children in career planning by drawing a new road map for aviation training. The cooperation of the two institutions, which have come together to develop the aviation culture in Şanlıurfa, will boost both services and entertainment.

The aviation festival will consist of events such as model airplane building training and an array of colorful activities such as colorful balloon shows, balloon travel, motorized hang gliding, parachute shows, a model airplane competition and drone shows for the participants over two days.
