Emirates comes to Berlin with Airbus A380
Before you get any hope, Emirates only gives a one-off guest appearance in Berlin. The airline from Dubai is visiting and exhibiting at the ILA 2022 in Berlin and is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday afternoon.
The ILA can finally take place in Berlin again. After two years of the corona pandemic, the aerospace industry can finally present itself to the public again and discuss current and future issues. Civil aviation also occupies a separate part. Emirates will come to Berlin with the Airbus A380 specifically for this purpose.
Those declared dead live longer
An Airbus A380 gate already exists at the Berlin Capital Airport. Originally this was planned in the anticipation of the best time, early 2000s. And airberlin’s statements also gave sufficient reason for hope. Because the Berlin airline promised the new BER an Airbus A380. Many years have passed in the meantime. The airport was able to open with an extra A380 gate, but unfortunately airberlin is no longer there. And also this week the gate will probably continue to be used by Qatar Airways and easyJet than by Emirates, although the airline is coming to Berlin this week with the Airbus A380. The superjumbo is expected to arrive on Tuesday afternoon, according to a spokeswoman for the airport.
The reason for Emirates’ visit is the ILA 2022, which is finally allowed to take place again this year – but under limited conditions. The aerospace exhibition takes place every two years at Berlin Airport in Schönefeld, for the first time at the new Berlin Expo Center at Berlin’s capital city airport. The ILA 2020 had to be canceled due to Corona, so the exhibition is finally returning after four years. Emirates will come to Berlin with the latest Airbus A380 in the fleet and will thus also present the new Premium Economy to the specialist audience. Private visitors are also permitted and may visit the ILA between Friday and Sunday. The official start of the ILA is June 22, but initially only for trade visitors.
In addition to the Emirates Airbus A380, a number of other aircraft will also be arriving at the ILA. The first aircraft are also expected in the course of tomorrow, Tuesday or Wednesday. The focus of this year’s ILA will be primarily on the military and the topic of sustainability in aviation. In addition to some aircraft that will also contribute to the show, there will be many companies that will exhibit and give presentations at the ILA. Tickets are still available for the weekend, but must be reserved online in advance, as the contingent is limited as a corona protection measure. You can arrive by car or public transport. Should you decide for a second visitor, free shuttle buses can be used from the Rudow underground station and the Waßmannsdorf S-Bahn station.
Conclusion on the visit to the Airbus A380 from Emirates
After two years of the corona pandemic, the ILA can finally take place again in Berlin. As a Berliner, I was there every two years, mainly to admire the passenger planes. A real highlight for enthusiasts awaits this year as well. Emirates is coming to Berlin with the Airbus A380. The extremely rare guest is expected to arrive on Tuesday afternoon. Spotters should also already have their lenses ready.
