BERLIN AIR SHOW TO GIVE GLIMPSE OF DELAYED AIRPORT
Berlin,Germany : 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.
Over 1,200 exhibitors are expected to attend the world's oldest air and space trade fair, half of them from outside Germany. Attendees include European planemaker Airbus and U.S. rival Boeing, whose civil aircraft arm is returning to Berlin's air show after a hiatus of more than 10 years.
Less touted as a deal-making event than the Farnborough or Paris industry showcases, ILA will nonetheless draw a prominent crowd with money to spend.
