In April 2024, Berlin Brandenburg Airport recorded a significant increase in passenger and freight traffic. According to preliminary figures from the traffic report, around 2,15 million passengers were counted, which corresponds to an increase of 12,6 percent compared to the same period last year. The busiest day was April 26 with 86.578 passengers. Despite these increases, passenger volumes are still well below the numbers before the corona pandemic.
The number of flight movements at BER also increased in April 2024. A total of 16.689 aircraft took off and landed, an increase of 14,1 percent compared to the same month last year. Nevertheless, this number remains far below the values from 2019, when Tegel and Schönefeld together recorded 24.584 takeoffs and landings.
Another notable increase was recorded in freight traffic. In April 2024, around 3.790 tons of air freight were loaded at BER, which corresponds to an increase of 55,8 percent compared to the previous year. Here too, freight volumes are still significantly higher than before the pandemic. Despite the ongoing challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic, BER appears to be on the road to recovery, with numbers not yet reaching pre-pandemic levels.
