Berlin airfield trainer admits: chances of 2017 opening slim to zero

Karsten Mühlenfeld told Tagesspiegel on Thursday that it is most some-more expected that Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) will open in a open of 2018.

The chances of a atmosphere heart being open for business in a autumn of 2017 “are intensely singular by this stage” he admitted.

He pronounced that discussions with construction companies did still offer a spark of wish that a 2017 deadline could be reached and that “we won’t give this idea up.”

“If a airfield doesn’t open in Oct or Nov afterwards during a beginning it’ll be when a moody timetables change during a finish of Mar (2018),” he said.

Mühlenfeld explained that switching flights from Tegel airfield in a north of a city to BER in a south during a winter would be too dangerous.

Berlin authorities have affianced that a airfield will open in autumn 2017, 6 years behind schedule. A vital means of a check has been problems with glow showing systems that did not accommodate inhabitant glow reserve standards.

An inner news seen by Bild progressing in a year suggests that a airfield is doubtful to open before 2019, with work crawling along during a snail’s pace.
