Planning

Construction of the ExpoCenter Airport Berlin Brandenburg commenced in August 2011 and concluded by April 2012. The main exhibition grounds span approximately 250,000 square meters (62 acres), featuring halls, chalet areas for aircraft displays, and outdoor spaces for spectators and access routes.

The operating company, initially known as Messeimmobilien Selchow GmbH (MIS), invested €27 million in developing the new grounds. In May 2012, the company was renamed ExpoCenter Airport Berlin Brandenburg GmbH (ECA) and relocated to the new exhibition grounds. Additionally, Messe Berlin contributed €16 million towards constructing three permanent display halls.

Since its inauguration, the ExpoCenter Airport has become a significant venue for various events, including the PANORAMA Berlin fashion show, which debuted in January 2013 as part of Berlin Fashion Week.
