ILA Berlin — All Editions

ILA Berlin is an aerospace, space and defence show held at Berlin ExpoCenter Airport in Berlin, Germany. The 2026 edition ran from 10 to 14 June 2026. The organiser describes it as one of the world's leading aerospace shows and as the world's oldest air show, with roots going back to 1909. It is hosted by the German aerospace industry association BDLI in partnership with Messe Berlin.

The organiser groups the content into three segments and three special areas. Aviation covers next-generation aircraft, sustainable propulsion and digitalisation. Space is described as Europe's leading space exhibition format, organised by BDLI with its industry partners, the German space agency DLR and the European Space Agency. Defence includes a Defence Park and a delegation programme. The special areas are Drones, with a Drone Pavilion and unmanned system demonstrations in the flying display, a Talent Hub for recruiting, and Supplier, covering the aerospace supply chain.

For 2026 the organiser reports 765 exhibitors from 37 nations, which it calls a record, and says 3,500 talents met employers in the Talent Hub. The next show, ILA 2028, is listed for 17 to 21 May 2028, with trade visitor days on 17 to 19 May and public days on 20 and 21 May. The organiser offers an early bird exhibitor discount until 31 March 2027.
