The BER Airport, opened a year ago, urgently needs the next financial injection to avert bankruptcy."We need money quickly, we need cash," said the new boss Aletta von Massenbach to the Berlin "Tagesspiegel" [payment barrier].Accordingly, the liquidity of the Airport Society of Berlin, Brandenburg and the Federal (FBB) ranges "until the first quarter of 2022".However, FBB had "a large payment for debt service in mid -February," said von Massenbach."We cannot manage the capital service ourselves for a long time."

"Dass wir für den BER noch so viel Geld brauchen, ist superbitter"

By 2026, FBB will therefore need another 2.4 billion euros from its three owners."It is super bitter that we need so much money for BER," said von Massenbach, which FBB has since 1.October leads as chief manager.There is no plan b.You can declove the scope for action."The BER is ready, you can operate it and earn money.Or it just costs."Von Massenbach also assured that consequences were drawn from the autumn holiday chaos at BER."I guarantee that we do everything so that it works as smoothly as possible," she said."I cannot guarantee that it will always work perfectly."
