In the first full financial year after it went into operation, BER Airport again made a high loss. The shortfall last year was almost 570 million euros, as can be seen from the annual report presented by the airport boss Aletta von Massenbach. This means that the loss has almost halved compared to the previous year. But that was “only partially reassuring,” emphasized von Massenbach. The Berlin-Brandenburg Airport Company (FBB) still does not earn enough to fully finance its own operations. Equity has been completely consumed by the renewed loss of millions. Flight operations can only continue with the help of the state owners, the federal government and the states of Berlin and Brandenburg. Nevertheless, the BER boss believes that things will get better, at least as far as the effects of the Corona crisis are concerned. The passengers are returning: On individual days and times of the day, just as many people traveled via BER as via Berlin Airports before the pandemic. Von Massenbach therefore expects a positive operating result (Ebitda) for the current year.
