Deutsche Aircraft soars at ILA Berlin 2024
We have successfully participated in Europe’s leading aerospace trade fair, ILA Berlin 2024. This five-day biennial event held in Berlin, Germany, was a valuable platform for us to showcase our dedication to innovation, sustainability, and collaboration.
On the first day, we announced the commencement of construction of our Final Assembly Line at Leipzig/Halle Airport. Our Chief Operating Officer, Nico Neumann, met with the State Secretary of the Saxon State Ministry for Economics, Labour and Transport, Thomas Kralinski, to discuss the progress of this significant project. This development marks a crucial milestone for us as it expands our manufacturing capabilities.
We were also an active participant at the ILA Stage Aviation Future Lab, where Regina Pouzolz, our Director of Sustainability, moderated a special international panel. The discussion focused on the potential of establishing a climate-neutral regional aviation ecosystem in Northern Norway, with an emphasis on the region's abundant, low-cost renewable energy and our commitment to sustainable practices.
On the second day of the event, the D328 UpLift aircraft, a project funded by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Climate Action (BMWK), was showcased at the DLR booth. This aircraft, part of the LuFo Klima aviation research programme, serves as an open platform for the industry, including SMEs, start-ups, and research institutions, to explore climate-friendly flight solutions.
On the third day of ILA Berlin, we also invited aerospace professionals and aspiring graduates to visit our booth at the ILA Talent Hub. Attendees had the opportunity to learn more about the vision, current projects, and exciting career prospects at our company.
Our presence at ILA Berlin 2024 underscores our unwavering commitment to driving innovation, sustainability, and collaboration within the aerospace industry. From our new Final Assembly Line and strong connection to regional aviation clusters, to our active participation in climate-neutral aviation initiatives, we are poised to shape the future of regional aviation.
