Overview
- Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH posted a net loss of more than €134 million last year, an improvement from a €212.8 million deficit in 2023.
- Traffic recovery continues but remains below pre‑pandemic levels, with 25.5 million passengers in 2024 and about 19.4 million from January to September this year versus 36 million in 2019 across Tegel and Schönefeld.
- The airport marked its 100‑millionth passenger since opening, underscoring steady but incomplete recovery since the pandemic launch in 2020.
- Operational upgrades include CT security scanners that remove the need to unpack liquids and electronics and free, bookable security time slots to reduce queuing.
- Route development remains a challenge as carriers such as Ryanair and EasyJet cut services and some U.S. long‑haul flights pause for the winter, prompting calls to add more long‑haul options.
