In April 2025, 2,22 million travelers used Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). According to preliminary figures from the traffic report, this is around 70.000 more passengers than in April of the previous year. The last day of the Easter holidays, Sunday, April 27, was particularly busy, with 84.649 passengers. During the two-week Easter holidays, BER counted around 1,2 million passengers.
Interestingly, the number of flight movements decreased slightly compared to the same month last year. In April 2025, 16.291 aircraft took off and landed at BER, compared to 2024 in April 16.689. This indicates higher aircraft capacity utilization. Air freight, on the other hand, developed positively, increasing 3,9 percent in April compared to the previous year. A total of more than 3.900 tons of cargo were handled at BER last month.
The increased passenger numbers, especially during the Easter holidays, underscore the importance of BER as a mobility hub for the capital region. Despite a slight decline in flight movements, growth in passenger traffic and air cargo demonstrates a positive development for the airport. The full traffic report with final figures is expected later this month.
