Take to the skies in Berlin
28th March 2008
Aeroplane buffs will be on cloud nine with the date for the ILA Berlin Air Show drawing nearer - and it is expected to be bigger and better than ever.
People travelling to the German city by train will get another transportation experience altogether at this year's show, which is organised by the German Aerospace Industries Association (BDLI).
An estimated quarter of a million visitors and over 1,000 exhibitors are expected at the event from May 30th, with advance bookings already at record levels.
Chief executive of the BDLI Dietmar Schrick comments: "The large number of applications for this event reflects the very encouraging level of orders in virtually every area of the aerospace industry."
Over 300 different aircraft will be on display at the event, including the world's most technologically advanced aeroplane, the Airbus A380.
Another highlight will be Indian company Hindustan Aeronautics' first ever European display of the single-engine HJT-36 Sitara jet trainer, alongside light military combative helicopter Druhv and aircraft Tejas.
Berlin itself is emerging as one of Europe's most popular tourist destinations, with a heady mix of modern city life and a strong connection to its cultural history making for an engrossing stay for any visitor.
Attractions of the city include any of its 170 museums and galleries, Berlin Catherdral, the Alexanderplatz, the Olympic grounds and of course, the Berlin Wall Memorial monument.
