Berlin airport opening delayed to March 2013
Frankfurt, May 17, 2012
The opening day of Berlin's new airport has been pushed back by almost a year to March 17, 2013, the mayor of Berlin said on Thursday.
The capital's long-awaited new airport will replace Tegel and Schoenefeld airports, both dating from the Cold War era.
Just weeks before its opening date the operators said the Berlin-Brandenburg airport would not be ready in time. – Reuters
