Because BER-delay
The BER opening is slow in coming. So, the airport company needs to invest in the Airport Tegel again. Around 20 million euros are needed to keep it functional
Not later than Fall 2017 are now open to the major airport BER. This time, really. For the small Tegel Airport, this means a further three years operating at the limit of possibilities. 54,000 travelers are now handled daily on the 1974-built for much less passengers conditioning. An upward trend. Now a million program is to keep the airport operational during this period. “We’ll take care of Tegel”, an airport spokesman for the Berliner Morgenpost said on Sunday.
Ailing runways
More Details were not disclosed, but the plans are internally apparently progressed. Around 20 million euros will be invested according to information provided by the Berliner Morgenpost 2016. These investments are already in future business plans of the airport company. Especially ailing aprons and taxiways must be replaced – the obligations of the Authority are strict. According to planning and sanitary facilities for passengers to be renovated. There were repeated complaints about the state of public toilets. Conveyor belts for luggage are also on the list as a renewal of the air conditioner.
BER CEO Hartmut Mehdorn announced the investment in an internal strategy document is available to the Morning Post, but without referring to any sum. The aim of the measures was a “frictionless air traffic” in Tegel. Mehdorn had assured last Friday that the BER will now open the end of 2017. Tegel will be closed no later than six months later. At least sees the current regime ago.
15 new employees for more comfortable Change
Last year had the airport company heavily in unintended but continued continued operation Tegels invest. 17.5 million euros were invested in technology and equipment – and in efforts to leave no too bad impression with passengers from around the world. So shopping and dining offerings were expanded. 15 additional employees per shift should make in a newly created transit area of the transfer comfortable and faster. Nevertheless Tegel is far below the international standard of service from airports in metropolitan areas.
Nevertheless Tegel is popular because of its traffic in the city. For years, the numbers of passengers increases in Berlin. Last year alone, the number of passengers increased by 7.9 percent to 19.6 million passengers a year. At the airport Schönefeld (6.9 million passengers per year), the numbers are declining. However, 2.5 million euros were invested in the airport last year. Overall, the aviation created so far about 20,000 jobs in the city
