Facts and figures

The project data are impressive:

• In the course of expansion into Berlin Brandenburg Airport, Schoenefeld Airport will be extended by an area measuring 970 hectares. In total, the new airport will cover 1,470 hectares, equivalent to 2,000 football pitches.
• Midfield Airport: The terminal building of Berlin Brandenburg Airport will be situated between two parallel runways which, as a result of the distance of 1,900 metres between them, can be operated separately. The terminal, gate positions and parking spaces are also located compactly between the runways. A large portion of the ground noise thus remains inside the airport fence.
• The midfield terminal will have six floors and the initial version will have enough space to handle up to 27 million passengers.
• The northern runway of Schoenefeld Airport has been closed and removed.
• Northern runway: The current southern runway of Schoenefeld Airport will be extended from 3,000 to 3,600 metres.
• Southern runway: Construction of a new runway with a length of 4,000 m.
• Taxiways: A flexible taxiway system will assure high performance at Berlin Brandenburg Airport.
• Expansion modules: Berlin Brandenburg Airport can be expanded gradually in modules for 40- 45 million passengers.
• According to current plans, the initial version of the terminal will have 16 jetways. Plans have also been drawn up to provide at least ten walk boarding positions.
• Berlin Brandenburg Airport will have more than 65 aircraft parking stands.
• Passengers will find everything ranging from domestic and European to intercontinental flights under one roof in the central terminal (“one roof concept”).
• As many as 6,500 passengers will take off or land during a typical peak business hour at Berlin Brandenburg Airport.
• Parking: Lots of parking space will border on the terminal.
• The building costs for the airport amount to two billion euros, excluding the costs for road and rail connections and outside investments (e.g. car parks, hotels and conference centres).
• The building costs for the airport amount to two billion euros. The costs for road and rail connections and outside investments (e.g. car parks, hotels and conference centres) are not included in this figure.
