Wo ist der flughafen berlin brandenburg

Der Flughafen Berlin-Schönefeld (SXF) im Süden Berlins ist zum neuen Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg (BER) ausgebaut worden. Am 31. Oktober 2020 wurden die neuen Terminalanlagen und am 4. November 2020 die südliche Start- und Landebahn in Betrieb genommen und der Flughafen offiziell eröffnet. Damit gewährleistet der BER, als eines der größten Verkehrsinfrastrukturprojekte Deutschlands, eine moderne luftverkehrliche Anbindung der gesamten Metropolregion Berlin-Brandenburg.

Die Entscheidung, den Flughafen Berlin-Schönefeld zum alleinigen Hauptstadtflughafen auszubauen, hatten im Mai 1996 die Bundesregierung, der Berliner Senat und die Landesregierung Brandenburg in Form eines Konsensbeschlusses getroffen. Gleichzeitig wurde festgelegt, die beiden innerstädtischen Flughäfen Berlin-Tegel und Berlin-Tempelhof nicht weiter zu betreiben und zu schließen – Tempelhof ab dem rechtskräftigen Planfeststellungsbeschluss für den BER, Tegel bald nach der Inbetriebnahme des BER.

Von der Berliner Innenstadt aus ist der BER mit verschiedenen Verkehrsmitteln erreichbar. Eine eigene Autobahnanbindung an der A 113 und die Bundesstraße 96a garantieren die Erreichbarkeit mit dem Pkw. Vom Bahnhof unter dem Terminal 1 verkehren neben dem Airport Express und Regionalbahnen auch die S-Bahnlinien S9 und S45, die zusätzlich auch am Terminal 5 halten. In den kommenden Jahren ist insbesondere mit dem Ausbau der sogenannten Dresdner Bahn eine kontinuierliche Erhöhung der Taktung vorgesehen. Flughafenbusse, Mietwagen, Carsharing und Taxi vervollständigen das Angebot des öffentlichen Personennahverkehrs.
