ILA Berlin leads in innovation, new technology, and sustainability, bringing the world’s aerospace industry to the center of Europe every two years – next time from June 10 to 14, 2026.
ILA Berlin: Pioneering Aerospace since 1909
With its sectors Aviation, Space, Defence & Support, Advanced Air Mobility, and Supplier, ILA Berlin covers the entire value chain of the aerospace industry. Here, we vividly demonstrate how the transformation of civil aviation towards climate neutrality can succeed. The unique Space Pavilion showcases the diverse benefits of space exploration for life on Earth – from climate protection and digitalization to security and mobility. The military section emphasizes the importance of the armed forces in defending our democratic values and European sovereignty. In the Advanced Air Mobility exhibition area, the full spectrum of unmanned aerial systems and electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles (eVTOLs) is presented. The International Supplier Center connects the extensive supply chain with buyers from OEMs and 1st-tier suppliers. Key topics include climate-neutral flying, digitalization, and supply chain stability.
In 2024, the European Commission once again served as a strategic partner of ILA Berlin. This partnership strengthens Europe’s technological leadership and paves the way for a sustainable future in aerospace under the motto “Airborne in Europe.”
