Berlin-Brandenburg Faces Holiday Travel Surge: 1.1 Million Passengers Expected at BER
The Berlin-Brandenburg region has entered its busiest travel window of the year. Traffic authorities expect heavy congestion on the A100 and A115, while BER Airport projects 1.1 million passengers and 7,300 aircraft movements between 20 December and 2 January. Companies should expect elevated airfares and scarce last-minute seats; contingency routing via alternative airports is recommended. The operational stress-test is likely to influence long-term capacity decisions at BER, making the outcome relevant for future business-travel planning.
