[BERLIN] The opening of a new international airport to serve Berlin is now two years overdue and counting - a multi-billion-euro planning disaster that's become a running joke in the German capital.
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.
