Berlin Brandenburg Airport near 30 million passengers but faces reduced traffic
Based on · First reported
Sources
- Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) is approaching the 30 million passengers per year mark and its CEO Aletta von Massenbach said the airport is "hub‑ready" while pointing to point‑to‑point as its future, after Ryanair announced the closure of its base at BER in April 2026 citing high costs.
- The airport remains below its theoretical potential, with domestic routes and business traffic identified as the main reasons for lower traffic compared with pre‑pandemic levels, and connectivity to Frankfurt and Munich airports is only at about 50 % of pre‑pandemic levels.
