Berlin's new airport to see first signs of action at ILA Berlin Air Show

The ILA Berlin Air Show this week will bring some long-awaited action to the city's new airport, a source of embarrassment to Germany's capital following multiple delays to its opening.
A spotless new runway, so far unused for commercial flights, will finally feel the burn of rubber as flying displays show off aircraft including the Eurofighter jet and Eurocopter's new high-speed helicopter X3.
