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 Network, one of the world’s leading providers of trade media, data services and business intelligence across aviation, aerospace and defence.

ILA X Aviation Week

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 Network 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 forms of cooperation remain unaffected by this exclusive media partnership – in particular, collaborations with trade media that are exhibiting at ILA.

// 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. The exclusivity applies to the status of “Official Media Partner of ILA 2026” and its associated formats – not to general editorial coverage or accreditation.
