ILA Berlin x Aviation Week Network

For the first time in its history, ILA Berlin is entering into an exclusive media partnership – with none other than Aviation Week, one of the world's leading providers of trade media, data services and business intelligence across aviation, aerospace and defence.

This partnership is designed to significantly expand ILA Berlin's international reach. Our ambition is clear: to further strengthen the ILA as a European platform with true global relevance – and to bring the defining topics, technologies and people from Berlin to the heart of the international aerospace community.

 

Going international isn't a buzzword – it's a commitment.

ILA Berlin continues to evolve as an international showcase and marketplace for Europe's aerospace and defence industry and its entire supply chain. Aviation Week supports this trajectory with global reach, deep industry access and formats that connect with decision-makers worldwide.

 
No more trade press stand: The dedicated trade press stand will not be part of ILA 2026.
No additional media partnerships: We will not be entering into any further media partnerships for 2026.
Exclusive Show Dailies: Official ILA Show Dailies will be produced and distributed on-site exclusively by Aviation Week.

Please note: Independent journalism and editorial coverage remain actively encouraged. Press relations, accreditation and both national and international media presence continue to be a vital part of ILA. Members of the press can still register through our press accreditation, attend the show and access the Press Chalet. Accreditation will open in May.

Press accreditation

Other outlets can apply for press accreditation, exhibit (and display products within their booth), as well as engage in general editorial coverage. However, only our exclusive media partner, Aviation Week, will have the rights to distribute industry publications and publish Show Business, the exclusive show daily, live over three days.

// Why are there no other official media partnerships in 2026?

As part of our internationalisation strategy, we are consolidating the official media partnership to scale reach and visibility at a truly global level.

// Can my publication still cover ILA?

Absolutely! Your publication is more than welcome to cover ILA. The exclusivity only applies to the title of 'Official Media Partner of ILA 2026' and its associated formats. This does not affect general editorial coverage or press accreditation, so you can still report on the event and share your insights with your audience.
