India to highlight aerospace exports at Berlin Air Show

Berlin: This year's ILA Berlin air show is to highlight India's aerospace products with 25 companies approved by the Defence Ministry in New Delhi for a joint stand, organizers said Thursday. As this year's partner nation at Germany's principal air show, the Indians are also likely to be wooed by European planemakers seeking orders from rapidly expanding Indian airlines.
The showcase every two years for jet fighters, electronic wizardry and other gear is to be held at Schoenefeld Airport from May 27 to June 1.
The venue is currently being redeveloped into the German capital's main international airport. The last ILA in 2006 had more than 1,000 firms from 42 nations exhibiting.
German Defence Minister Franz Josef Jung invited India to take part and set up the joint stand for its companies.
The Indian Defence Minister, A K Antony, had written back that this renowned air show not only offered the Indian aerospace industry a chance to show its products but also to negotiate new business, air show staff said Thursday.
