Two days of wonder
The weekend transformed Berlin ExpoCenter Airport into a world of aviation discovery: dynamic flying displays above the runway, extensive static displays on the apron, and hands-on exhibits for future talent.
- Flying display: Eurofighter, A400M, Leonardo AW249 and the Airbus Beluga in the sky.
- Static display: around 100 aircraft up close, from the A380 to drones.
- For families: children under 6 had free admission on the public days.
