The Brandenburg Willy Brandt Airport was originally set to open in 2011; the opening has been postponed to October 2020.

It is being constructed adjacent to Schönefeld Airport, which it will replace.

I mean, I get that, and I realize many Berlin residents are almost rooting for BER to not open because of this convenience. But you do recognize, that at some point, with continued growth, Berlin will absolutely need a larger airport than TXL. I mean you get that, right?

Having done three returns to TXL in the last twelwe months, I always get the feeling having travelled in time, but not with help of a DeLorean. Admittingly as charming as recognizing furniture you first saw in your grandparents home
There must be stuff enough to make a soap opera out of the BER story - 'The New Airport' planned for 8 seasons to start. If the doomsday profets, predicting the demolition and new start, are right , this series could be running for decades. I wish I could say - Just like the airport - but will try not to add insult to injury

Hopefully they are not going to cancel the opening last minute this time around.

Berlin Tegel TXL closing 01 June, impact on summer flights (esp. EZY) ?
Dear all,
It has been announced that Berlin Tegel would close as of 01 June due to the coronavirus situation.
https://www.morgenpost.de/berlin/art...am-1-Juni.html
We had Easyjet flights booked for mid-July and are wondering what will happen. Plain cancellation or rerouting to another area airport ?
Can anyone share any further information they have, or direct experience (if you were in the same situation and have already heard from the airline, for example) ?
Thank you !

You’ll be moved to Schönefeld SXF if this does happen. No big deal. More likely is that your flights will be cancelled and/or you would not be admitted to Germany (depending in your citizenships and entry regulations at the time.)

You are correct that many parameters are unpredictable but for this one I assumed that (1) by then I could be allowed to enter Germany, as EU citizen and resident of Denmark which also has good control of the epidemic, and (2) that the flight would still be operating (as it stands today). Just focusing on the airport closure issue in a very, very complicated global situation !!
And I hear you say that we would just be rebooked to SXF... that leaves a little hope for now
Thanks again and kind regards,
