Defense sector boom drives record attendance at Berlin's ILA Air Show
By
Nina Werkhäuser, Sabine Kinkartz
Summary
The ILA Berlin Air Show is setting records, driven primarily by a booming defense sector benefiting from wars and crises. While the show features innovations like climate-neutral aviation and space exploration (e.g., a rover for Mars' moon Phobos), there is little discussion of civil aviation's current struggles with high oil prices, fuel shortages, rising ticket prices, and cancelled flights. The defense industry's massive contracts dominate the event.
