Talk:Berlin Brandenburg Airport

Passenger projections
"With projected annual passenger numbers of around 34 million". Surely this figure is now totally unrealistic given the pandemic. The airport will not get anywhere near that busy for years or decades. Should it be phrased less enthusiastically in the article? --212.112.149.60 (talk) 01:57, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * It should be indicated that the source was written prior to Covid-19 and it is now not clear when such figures will be reached... Hobbitschuster (talk) 14:33, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * "With projected annual passenger numbers of around 34 million, Berlin Brandenburg Airport is set to become the third busiest airport in Germany surpassing Düsseldorf Airport and making it one of the fifteen busiest in Europe". The first full year with BER in operation is finished and in the year 2021 the BER was the third biggest airport in Germany in passanger numbers (with nearly 10 million passangers), so the BER is actually the third busiest airport in Germany. This should also be changed/written in the article I think. Tempsb (talk) 14:06, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I think the information is also missing that the BER has a capacity of 46 Million passangers (T1: 28 million, T2: 6 million, T5: 12 Million). And also that the two old Berlin airports together had 2019 about 35 million passangers. I think in the article also a statistic section is missing, in which is written what the passenger and cargo numbers have been. (For the year 2021 with the BER in Operation, and maybe also with the combined numbers of the two old Berlin airports). Tempsb (talk) 19:11, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
 * In the article are also no information about the planned Terminal 3, which is planned to be build after the corona crisis and which should probably replace the Terminal 5. And that there are plans to increase the capacity until 2040 to 58 million passangers. Also the section with the expansion plans is a bit outdated, there is written about the two planned satellite concourses, but the current plan is to first build a Terminal 3 before building the two planned satellite concourses.

Timeline of Berlin Brandenburg Airport's construction
In case anyone here is interested, Timeline of Berlin Brandenburg Airport's construction, which appears to be a duplicate of Berlin_Brandenburg_Airport has been suggested for deletion at Articles for deletion/Timeline of Berlin Brandenburg Airport's construction Mujinga (talk) 00:49, 26 December 2021 (UTC)


 * I think it could be better to do it in the opposide way (to recreate an article about the construction, and to delete the timeline section in the main article) because then the main article would be more streamlined, like prosponed here: Talk:Berlin_Brandenburg_Airport.

Semi-protected edit request on 6 December 2022
Hey! I want to apply for a edit request. Eurowings will be flying new destinations from summer (https://www.eurowings.com/de/entdecken/reiseziele/neue-strecken.html) and I'd like to add them. Have been working on the page previously before and currently have an additional site for the construction procress under review in the hope to detangle the very lond description here to an extra website.

Thanks! AchillesBerlin1993 (talk) 08:39, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Phrasing issues
The following passages are written in present tense, but should probably be in past tense and the phrasing should reflect that the airport was opened in 2020 eventually (so, it was just "speculation" that it won't open until 2021):

On 23 November 2017, exactly 2,000 days after the originally planned opening date in 2012, a TÜV report listed additional deficits. It is possible that the new deficits will cause an additional delay of up to two years, with an opening in 2021.[215] At the end of 2017, autumn 2020 was announced as the new official opening date.

And:

The fire protection malfunction seems to be too significant to keep 2020 as an opening date.

And here it should be specified which conservative party it is because Germany has more than one:
