Berlin’s new international airport can open next month after an embarrassing nine-year delay despite the coronavirus pandemic taking a big bite out of air travel, its chief manager said Tuesday.
A few shops and a tourism office will also open their doors the first day, but other terminals will have to wait until next year to serve passengers, Luetke-Daldrup said, due to a drop in demand because of the Covid-19 outbreak.Social distancing measures, however, will put a damper on the planned celebrations.BER was set to open in 2011 but the date was repeatedly pushed back over a series of issues, including fire safety and corruption.
“The road to the opening wasn’t easy,” Luetke-Daldrup admitted, noting the “shame” felt by German engineers over a project that became a running joke among locals.After nearly a decade of repeated gaffes and scandals, he said, “there’s no reason to boast”. Nevertheless, Berlin’s main airport, Tegel, will close November 8 following the takeoff of an Air France flight to Paris.
