Germany: Berlin Brandenburg: opening delayed yet again
It’s official. The opening of Berlin’s new Brandenburg airport (BER) is highly unlikely to take place this year. BER’s opening has now been postponed 4 times. And this is for a main airport for a capital city which should have opened back in 2011. Airportzentrale.de reports that “there are problems with several hundred doors and the sprinkler system. Only 20% of the 1,400 doors work flawlessly. Both problems are directly related to the smoke extraction system which has already caused problems.” The problems arose over Christmas and have made it impossible to finish construction work in January as planned. Completion of construction in January was a pre-requisite for the airport to open this year.” <br/>
