In the worst-case scenario, air traffic may not be restored to pre-coronavirus levels until 2027
A strategy conference to discuss the detrimental effects the pandemic has had on German airport operator, Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH (FBB) took place on Monday (Jan 25).
Addressing the supervisory board over a video call, the executive board laid out business strategies for the course of this year. The meeting, which was meant to be carried out over two days, was shortened to one day due to the current coronavirus situation.
The supervisory board was told by the executive board that passenger traffic is still at an all-time low due to the global pandemic. In the first few weeks of January, only 7,500 customers were handled per day at Berlin Brandenburg Willy Brandt Airport (BER) – around 10% lower than last year’s figures.

Berlin Brandenburg Airport Willy Brandt has received two important certificates for strict compliance with hygiene measures during the COVID-19 pandemic. BER is now the first German airport to receive the Airport Health Accreditation from the international airport association Airports Council International (ACI). As part of this certification, ACI assesses the hygiene measures and procedures that have been introduced at airports after the COVID-19 pandemic began. Shortly before, BER was also the first German airport to be certified by Deutsches Hygienezertifikat. Both certificates guarantee a high level of safety for passengers during their stay in Terminals 1 and 5 of the new airport.
