A year and a half after the opening of the new capital city airport BER, the second newly built terminal is also going online. Low-cost carrier Ryanair will be the first airline to take off on March 24 with passengers checked in at T2.
Berlin Brandenburg Airport puts Terminal 2 (T2) into operation for the summer flight schedule. The main user will be the airline Ryanair. The first departure from the new BER terminal will also be carried out by the Irish airline on March 24th. In the following days, all Ryanair departures will be handled in T2. From the beginning of April, most arrivals from Ryanair and some arrivals from other airlines will also be handled via T2, as the airport operator informed. Passengers and collectors should inform themselves in advance about the respective terminal. For each flight, the digital display boards at the airport, on the website and in the app indicate whether the flight will take off or land at T1 or T2.
After check-in and security control, passengers change over bridges into gates that actually belong to the main Terminal 1. Over the years of building the airport, it had become apparent that T1 would be too small for the forecast passenger numbers. Due to the low number of passengers during the corona pandemic, it has not yet been used. Terminal 2 is designed for six million passengers a year.
