ILA 2026
The ILA Berlin Air Show, which dates back to 1909, brings the world's aerospace and defence industry to the heart of Europe, every two years. Industry representatives, politicians, members of the armed forces and academics gather at Berlin's ExpoCenter Airport in Schoenefeld for an airshow focusing on the themes of the future of flight, innovation and new technologies.
Reflecting the theme of this year's event - #Meet the world’s aerospace pioneers - Airbus will demonstrate its commitment to connecting people and businesses, while driving the industry's transition to decarbonisation, and to providing security and stability. This year’s edition highlights a stronger focus on defence, with ILA Berlin as a central political and industry platform for European technological sovereignty and security.
On this page you will find information about the wide range of products and services that Airbus will showcase on the ground and in the air, as well as the conference agenda and the latest news, photos and videos related to the show.

Defence and innovation: Why security matters for our future
The world is becoming increasingly volatile, and the nature of conflict is shifting. When threats evolve at lightning speed, a society’s ability to protect itself is its most vital asset.
Defence is the framework that gives our lives stability and enables us to live and speak freely. It is the bedrock of national sovereignty, ensuring our independence to make our own choices and giving our society the resilience to progress in the long term. Defence is always present, even if we don't directly notice it.
