New flight destinations

With 170 flight destinations in 50 countries, the summer flight schedule offers a wide range of connections. A total of 17 new connections have been added – to Trondheim and Torp as of March, to Toulouse and Eindhoven as of April and to Los Angeles, Windhoek, Aalborg and Gdańsk as of May. In June, the airlines launched nine new destinations: Bilbao, Birmingham, Bologna, Kaliningrad, Leeds, Marseille, Memmingen, Rijeka and Valencia.

Service information for passengers

The airport company apologises for any inconvenience caused to passengers as a result of the current situation at Schönefeld and Tegel Airport: please allow extra time – especially in Tegel – to get to and through the airport. Note: as only a limited number of parking spaces are available, please use public transport.

All restaurants, shops and services such as car rental and Lost & Found will continue to be available at the existing airports until the new airport opens. Both locations will thus continue to cater to all the daily travel needs of passengers.

More information

For general enquiries, passengers can contact the airport call centre directly on: +49 1805 000-186 (€0.14/min. from a German landline or max. €0.42/min. from a German mobile phone network). All the latest information is also available online at www.berlin-airport.de and on the preview site of the new website at http://preview.berlin-airport.de. The airport company regrets any inconvenience caused by the delayed opening of the airport and extends their apologies to passengers.
