Berlin's new airport to see first signs of action at ILA Berlin Air Show
Skift Take
Conversation around the water cooler of aviation execs will likely touch on the Middle East and Asia's aviation growth, the number of delayed aircraft orders, and the very venue they're at (but still can't fly to).
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.
