Berlin: Airport fees will be decisive for the success of new airport

According to Mr. Hunold, CEO of AirBerlin - Germany's Nr. 2 airline - the new airport BBI should not charge more than what they are paying now. A big increase would not be affordable for the airlines and Berlin would be the only location where AirBerlin is actually growing. He adds that the fees for airlines will directly influence the success of the multi-billion-euro investment.

The airport company offered the airlines to work together on the new fee structure. It is less a question of cost than of politics. The region itself still does not produce a big demand, but foreign tourists love Berlin and are the most important factor behind the growth of AirBerlin. The location of Berlin is for Hunold perfect when it comes to route air traffic from the South or the East and North-East.
