Berlin is extremely popular with our American guests. Demand for flights from Berlin to the USA is also very high. We are excited to fly from Berlin Brandenburg Airport for the first time and connect the destination to our Terminal 4 at JFK. Ten new gates with modern and spacious seating areas and the latest technology for easy check-in and baggage handling have been built there as part of our multi-billion-dollar investment programme.”

From September 2011, there was an interruption lasting several years before beginning again from Tegel in 2017. Flight operations were then suspended in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic, which lasted until Friday’s new start at BER.
