A dynamic economic region stretching from the busy Berlin environs to the south of the city and right up to the municipalities around Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) – this is the Airport Region Berlin Brandenburg. Its excellent infrastructure, first-class business locations, innovative technology centers and motivated skilled workforce make it an ideal company location. Be it global corporations, medium-sized companies or startups – the company landscape of the Airport Region Berlin Brandenburg is just as diverse as the industries represented here.
The Airport Region Team is a cooperation of the two business development agencies, Berlin Partner for Business and Technology and the Economic Development Agency Brandenburg (WFBB) and is focused on economically strengthening the region around Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). With headquarters directly at BER Airport, we are the first point of contact for companies interested in opening new branches or offices in the region.
Our close cooperation with the respective industry experts of each economic development agency means that we can support you with all your questions regarding company expansions and settlements.
"The region around BER airport is developing into one of the outstanding business locations in the German capital region." Dr. Steffen Kammradt (Wirtschaftsförderung Brandenburg, CEO)
"We are already registering concrete settlement projects that can be traced back to the international airport. This knock-on effect will only increase because the Airport Region Berlin Brandenburg is extremely attractive for investors." Dr. Stefan Franzke (Berlin Partner, CEO)
October has been the busiest travel month of 2022 so far. A total of
2.1 million people used BER Airport last month, a good 30,000 more than in September 2022 and around 170,000 more than in August 2022. The number of passengers was therefore around two-thirds of the volume in October of the pre-pandemic year 2019 with 3.2 million guests. 1.7 million people travelled via BER in October 2021.
Last month, around 16,000 aircraft took off and landed in the capital region – 100 more than in the previous month September 2022. In October 2021, just under 15,000 aircraft movements were counted at BER; in October 2019, it was a total of 26,000 at Schönefeld and Tegel airports. A total of around 17 million people have already used BER Airport this year.
A total of around 3,000 tons of air cargo were handled last month, 145 tons more than in September 2022. In the previous year 2021, it was 2,600 tons; in October 2019, it was around 3,100 tons of air freight.
Aletta von Massenbach, Chief Executive Officer of Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH: “The well-prepared and largely smooth start to the autumn holidays also contributed to the good passenger numbers in October. Many people took advantage of the holidays to take off to somewhere sunny once again. We have further optimised the processes in both terminals to make travelling as easy as possible for our passengers. Our digital offers, such as the self-service check-in and reserving a time slot for the security control via BER Runway, were particularly popular and well received.”
