German airport opening delayed again
Airberlin has hit out at the latest delay to the opening date for new airport Berlin-Bradenburg BER.
Following a meeting between BER owners and the construction company yesterday, it was decided the proposed opening date of October 27, 2013 was no longer viable.
The further delay is the result of problems with the fire protection system, in particular the fresh air supply in the case of a fire and the complexity of the system as a whole.
The airport operator’s technical director, Horst Amann said it was too early to discuss when the airport could possibly open.
Airberlin said it is disappointed about the latest postponement of the opening date and says it will have an adverse effect on all passengers and on airlines.
The carrier said it expected the airport company to do everything possible in Tegel to improve standards, in lieu of the new airport opening.
It added it "incurs considerable expense in passenger control for the rising numbers at the old airport and will continue to do everything to keep the effects on our passengers to a minimum".
