The ILA’s main display sections include commercial aviation, aerospace, military aviation and military technology, equipment and engines, and general aviation and helicopters. Being the oldest aerospace exhibition that was first held in 1909, it ranks among the world's largest and most important aerospace trade fairs.
In September 2012, the exhibition was held at the Berlin ExpoCenter Airport, an area close to the southwestern end of the Berlin Brandenburg Airport currently in construction. During the first three days, admission was restricted to trade visitors only, while the last three days were open to the general public.

Famous quotes containing the words berlin, air and/or show:
“There’s no business like show business.”
—Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
“The Laws of Nature are just, but terrible. There is no weak mercy in them. Cause and consequence are inseparable and inevitable. The elements have no forbearance. The fire burns, the water drowns, the air consumes, the earth buries. And perhaps it would be well for our race if the punishment of crimes against the Laws of Man were as inevitable as the punishment of crimes against the Laws of Nature—were Man as unerring in his judgments as Nature.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
“I shall be a benefactor if I conquer some realms from the night, if I report to the gazettes anything transpiring about us at that season worthy of their attention,—if I can show men that there is some beauty awake while they are asleep,—if I add to the domains of poetry.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
