Over the next few years, Schoenefeld Airport will expand to become Berlin Brandenburg International (BBI), the new airport for the German capital.

When BBI opens its doors, the capital city region will offer business travellers, tourists, and companies a high-tech airport with good connections, international flights, direct motorway access, and a rail station under the main terminal. It will take 20 minutes for the airport shuttle to travel the 20-kilometre stretch of track into the Berlin city centre.

The new six-storey BBI passenger terminal will be 220-metres long, 180-metres wide and 32-metres high. A 715-metre-long main pier will be built in front of the terminal and, according to current plans, will have 15 jetways. The terminal will be completed by a 350-metre-long north pier, which is intended for walk boarding, and a 350-metre-long south pier with ten jetways. The U-shaped terminal complex will initially be able to handle 22 to 25 million passengers.
