Overview
- Internal documents from the Federal Real Estate Agency reported by Bild detail the sharply higher estimates for converting the secure area at Berlin Brandenburg Airport.
- The larger footprint would add hangars, aircraft stands, and new facilities for staff, security, and operations.
- The infrastructure plan aligns with a full move of the Bundeswehr flight readiness from Cologne to Berlin targeted for 2038.
- An interim terminal costing €70 million has handled government departures and state guest arrivals for about five years.
- Taxpayers’ Association president Reiner Holznagel condemned the project as a prestige overreach and called for the planning to be halted.
