Its network includes 15 domestic and 152 international routes, with Ryanair as the leading carrier and Frankfurt currently the busiest connection.

Airlines and Destinations Overview
Berlin Brandenburg serves as the main commercial airport for Berlin and the surrounding region, handling a network that is weighted toward international traffic while still maintaining a smaller domestic presence. Its route structure includes short-haul European services as well as medium- and long-haul connections, with traffic spread across a mix of low-cost, network, and leisure-oriented airlines.
The airport functions primarily as a major point-to-point gateway rather than a dominant intercontinental hub. easyJet is a leading carrier there, and the route mix reflects Berlin’s role as a capital city market with broad European coverage and selected longer-distance services.
Terminal Buildings and Facilities
Berlin Brandenburg uses a single passenger terminal concept, with operations organized through designated areas for departing and arriving passengers.

Passenger Traffic and Airport Role
Berlin Brandenburg is the principal commercial airport for Germany’s capital region and a major aviation gateway for both domestic and international traffic. Its network role is shaped by Berlin’s size, business activity, tourism demand, and government-related travel.
The airport serves a broad mix of short-haul European demand and selected longer-haul routes, with traffic coming from leisure, business, and visiting-friends-and-relatives markets. As a major hub-category airport, it functions as the main large-airport access point for Berlin rather than as a specialized transfer hub.
The airport’s role includes:
- Capital-city gateway
- Major hub category airport

Airport History
Berlin Brandenburg was developed as the long-planned replacement for Berlin’s older commercial airport system. The project was intended to concentrate the city’s scheduled traffic into one modern airport serving the capital region.
Construction and opening were shaped by a long development period and multiple delays, which pushed the airport’s transition into service later than originally planned. Once operational, it took over the central role in Berlin’s commercial aviation network.
The airport was built to provide a unified passenger facility for the city, replacing the need for separate large commercial airports in Berlin. Its modern terminal and airfield layout were designed to support a broad mix of European and long-haul traffic as the city’s main aviation gateway.
Today, Berlin Brandenburg functions as the primary commercial airport for the German capital and the surrounding region, with its role defined by point-to-point airline service, strong European connectivity, and a consolidated airport structure.
