The future lies in Schoenefeld

We are paving the way for the future!

Over the next few years, Schoenefeld Airport will expand to become Berlin Brandenburg International (BBI), the new airport for the German capital.

The Berlin-Brandenburg region currently has two airports. Tempelhof was already closed on 30 october 2008. Starting in 2011, all air traffic for the Berlin- Brandenburg region will be concentrated on the Capital Airport BBI, southeast of the city. This will make it possible to close Berlin's inner-city airport Tegel as well.

When BBI opens its doors, the capital city region will offer business travellers, tourists, and companies a high-tech airport with ideal connections, international flights, direct motorway access, and a rail station under the main terminal. It will take only 20 minutes for the airport shuttle to travel the 20-kilometre stretch of track into the Berlin city centre. In addition to making air travel more attractive, BBI will improve life in the region. By closing Tegel and Tempelhof, hundreds of thousands of Berlin and Brandenburg residents will no longer have to live with aircraft noise.
