Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) is a new facility on the aviation map of Europe, with a ceremonial opening in the autumn of 2020. At that time it replaced Berlin's two former airports - Tegel and Schönefeld. It is worth mentioning that the new airport in Berlin took over after Schönefeld a part of the infrastucture, including one of the runways, which, however, was renovated and extended on this occasion. Berlin Brandenburg Airport is located 18 kilometers southeast of the center of the German capital. The patron of the new Berlin Airport is Willy Brandt, the capital's longtime mayor and German chancellor.
