Much-delayed Berlin airport a running joke
There's still no word on opening two years and millions of euros after planned inauguration date

The planned June 3, 2012, inauguration of the new hub known as Berlin-Brandenburg Airport or BER was to replace two smaller airports, Tegel and Schoenefeld, vestiges of the city's Cold War division.
Both facilities are bursting at the seams amid a tourism boom in trendy Berlin and a sustained economic upturn in Germany.
