Berlin-Brandenburg Airport anticipates that the number of passengers in the federal states will rise sharply with the start of the summer holidays. It is estimated that around 30.000 to 40.000 travelers per day.

On the classic holiday travel days Friday and Sunday, the passenger volume even increases to up to 50.000 passengers a day. This is significantly less summer travel than in 2019 with up to 120.000 passengers on peak days, but significantly more than in 2020 when around 30.000 passengers were counted on the main travel days.

“More and more people are now fulfilling their vacation dreams outside of Germany. With the start of the summer holidays, many passengers will fly from, to and via BER for the first time. The first summer of travel from our new airport is also something special for us. We will do our best to make the first big vacation trip from BER as uncomplicated and pleasant as possible. We ask our passengers to do their part to prepare for their flight in the best possible way, to bring enough time with them and to adhere to the AHA rules ”, says Managing Director Engelbert Lütke Daldrup.

The positive trend can also be seen in the range of flights. In July and August around 70 airlines will fly to more than 160 destinations in 50 countries. This means that the flight schedule from Berlin has almost reached the level of the 2019 summer flight schedule, when 86 airlines headed for 183 destinations in 57 countries. However, not all routes are served with the same density. Popular holiday destinations in Europe in particular benefit from the opening and relaxation of travel restrictions. With Spain, Turkey, Greece and Italy, travelers are particularly focussed on travel destinations in the Mediterranean region.
