The much-anticipated new airport, also known as Berlin Brandenburg airport, is supposed to open in 2020 and handle about 45 million travelers by 2025.
The new airport, also known as Berlin Brandenburg airport, is supposed to handle about 41 million travelers in 2021, with estimates increasing to 45 million travelers by 2025. It is expected to create 135,000 jobs in the region within the next 20 years, according to a study published in JanuaryIt’s also expected to provide substantially more options for passengers.
The initial holdup, officials said, was due to problems with a smoke ventilation system needed in the event of fire. Other construction problems emerged later. Among them: 100 yards of cables were improperly installed and had to be removed; about 4,000 doors were incorrectly numbered; some escalators were not long enough; a computer malfunction meant that construction workers couldn’t turn the lights off in the terminal for months.
“It’s my job to put an end to this embarrassment,” Luetke Daldrup said while showing journalists the construction site this month. Engelbert Luetke Daldrup, head of the construction project for a new Berlin airport, speaks during a press visit to the unopened facility.
