In November 2023, Berlin Brandenburg Airport was used by 1,75 million travelers. This means that the German capital's airport had around 600.000 more passengers than in the same month last year. However, BER cannot match the transport performance that the then Tegel and Schönefeld airports had in November 2019, when they had around 2,5 million passengers. Between January and the end of November 2024, Berlin Brandenburg Airport counted 21,3 million passengers. Last month, around 14.200 aircraft took off and landed at BER. In November 2022, there were around 1.400 fewer aircraft. In November 2019, 20.775 flight movements were registered at Tegel and Schönefeld. In total, around 2023 tons of air freight were loaded at BER in November 3.174, slightly more than in the pre-Corona year of 2019.
For more than 15 years, Nuremberg Airport has been obtaining district heating from its direct neighbor, the Scherzer vegetable growing company. The heat is produced in a so-called wood chip heating plant. The heat is generated in the Scherzer heating plant using two large wood chip boilers and is piped to the airport as hot water via a pressure pipe. There, it is distributed in the buildings via the existing network to the radiators and ventilation systems. The heat from the wood chip plant is sufficient to heat the airport even on days with temperatures around freezing point. The gas heating only has to provide support during longer periods of frost. In order to merge the previously separate east and west heating networks in 2022, an approximately 500-meter-long, insulated connecting line was laid. This gave the large departure hall 2 and the DFS Tower, among other things, their own district heating connection, so that the entire airport site can now be supplied with district heating. "By connecting the two heating networks, Nuremberg Airport is taking another big step towards reducing CO2 emissions," said Airport Managing Director Dr. Michael Hupe. In addition, security of supply is increased, as two independent heating plants can now feed into the airport's heating network. Klaus Dotzauer, Managing Director of Nuremberg Airport Energy Company, adds: "Wood chips are largely climate-neutral and a raw material that does not depend on pipelines and is currently available in sufficient quantities. Last winter, we were able to almost do without the use of natural gas as an energy source." The Scherzer family business, which specializes in growing vegetables in greenhouses, has been using biomass since 2007: At that time, the wood chip heating plant went online within sight of the airport. In 2022, the plant was extensively modernized. The
There have been no non-stop flights to Alicante from Münster/Osnabrück for some time.

ÖBB is celebrating its 100th anniversary together with SBB and Switzerland Tourism and is launching new connections in the anniversary year, welcoming the fact that Zurich has become the second largest Nightjet hub and strengthening tourist offers in the two neighboring countries. With Zurich as the second largest Nightjet hub, SBB and thus Switzerland are the most reliable partners in the night train business. The expansion of connections in recent years towards the Netherlands and Germany has made the Nightjet hub in Zurich an indispensable piece of the puzzle in the climate-friendly night train business. But cooperation in day train services is also growing from year to year. With an additional pair of trains on the Zurich - Bregenz - Munich route, a continuous 2-hour cycle between the two metropolises and Bregenz is now guaranteed. The two countries have also been cooperating in the tourism sector for years. With numerous offers related to rail travel, Switzerland can score points with tourists all over the world. The ÖBB is honoring this with numerous, lovingly compiled Switzerland tours and cultural trips in 2023. A mixture of guided group trips and individually designed programs ensure a wide range of offers that also correspond to the trend towards slower and sustainable travel. Philipp Mäder, Head of International Passenger Transport SBB: "The ÖBB and the SBB have been friends and partners for many years. Whether by day or night, our trains transport people in a climate-friendly way and directly to a wide variety of destinations in Europe. With 28 daily connections between Switzerland and Austria and eight night train lines, we transported over a million travelers together in 2022 and 2023 is also developing well. Shaping together

The airlines of the Lufthansa Group have joined an initiative led by the manufacturer Airbus to filter carbon dioxide from the air and then store it permanently. The Lufthansa Group has now signed a contract with Airbus for the advance purchase of verified and permanent emission reduction credits for 40.000 tons of CO2 from DACCS technology. The certificates will be available from 2026 and will be issued by Airbus partner 1PointFive. An annual purchase of so-called “carbon removal credits” for 10.000 tons of CO2 over a period of four years has been agreed. The signing of the contract follows a joint declaration of intent from 2022. “The Lufthansa Group is firmly committed to making air transport more sustainable and achieving net zero CO2050 emissions by 2. This includes investing billions in the continuous modernization of our fleet and our strong commitment to sustainable aviation fuels. Technical solutions for removing CO2 from the atmosphere, such as advanced and direct processes for capturing and storing CO2, will play a complementary role in achieving our decarbonization goals,” says Caroline Drischel, Head of Corporate Responsibility at the Lufthansa Group.
