New Berlin airport needs extra 1b euros before opening: report

Berlin

BERLIN'S much-delayed new airport needs up to one billion euros (S$1.6 billion) in extra funds before it can open, German newspaper Bild am Sonntag said on Sunday, in what would be another setback for the project which is expected to open in October 2020.

The report said that the management of Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH (FBB), which runs Berlin's airports, had told the supervisory board before Christmas how much more money it would need.
