The ILA2008 Berlin Air Show on the southern section of Berlin-Schönefeld Airport will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. During the first three days (27-29 May) admission will be restricted to trade visitors only, but on the weekend (30 May – 1 June) the general public will be able to enjoy the extensive presentations by exhibitors as well as an outstanding programme of international flying displays.
Day tickets for the general public cost 17 euros. Reduced rate tickets at 11 euros are available for schoolchildren, students, the severely disabled, civilian and military conscripts. Children up to the age of 6 accompanied by parents will be admitted free of charge.
The organisers recommend using public transport to and from the ILA. On the days that the event is open to the public there will be free bus shuttles between the ILA grounds and the S-Bahn (light railway) stations at Altglienicke (S 45, S9) and Grünau (S 46, S8 und S85), the U-Bahn (underground) station at Rudow (U 7), and the Berlin-Schönefeld Airport terminal and station. There will also be an ILA rail shuttle operating between the exhibition grounds and the station at Lichtenberg. A fare-paying shuttle service will also be provided to bring passengers to the ILA from the airports at Tegel (10 euros) and Tempelhof (5 euros).
For those in even more of a hurry Air Berlin, in cooperation with Air Service Berlin, is introducing a new helicopter shuttle (79 euros one-way). This will operate between Tegel and Schönefeld each day between 8 and 11.30 a.m. and also between 3 and 6.30 p.m. For those arriving by private aircraft an hourly feeder service to Schönhagen Airfield will also operate during the event.
For the first time, car drivers can reach the newly created visitors’ car park north, with room for some 16,000 cars, via specially constructed exits from the national highways A113 (from the Berlin Ring) and A117 (from Berlin). A free shuttle will be available to bring visitors from the car park directly to the ILA grounds.
Aircraft can also use Schönhagen Airfield (open between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. UTC, at other times on request).
