«We expect more than 30 countries. There will be approximately 25,000 guests. We are currently working to increase seating capacity and accommodate more fans,» Eduard Kubatov said.

He announced that approximately 20 of the world’s best pilots will participate in the competition.

In June, the organizers announced they were expecting over 10,000 guests. At that time, they noted that the shore area and large cottage communities were almost completely booked by competition participants and spectators. Now, according to Eduard Kubatov, the forecast has increased to 25,000 guests.
