The German Government is pursuing private investors to own a stake in the new international airport being built in Schönefeld.
The opening of the $5.7bn Willy Brandt International airport has been repeatedly delayed due to issues ranging from poor construction planning, management and execution to corruption.
While the airport, to be jointly owned by the city of Berlin, the state of Brandenburg and German Government, was originally slated to open in 2010, the date was deferred to 2012 and then to the current 2017.
«It is also being speculated that the government is interested in selling its 26% stake in the airport.»
Bild am Sonntag quoted unnamed sources as saying that investors such as Macquarie and JP Morgan will be presented with confidential details about the airport’s business plans to help them make concrete offers.
However, Reuters quoted an airport spokesperson as saying that there was no new development regarding the airport’s potential privatisation.
The airport is currently said to be in a pre-notification phase where it has to demonstrate its potential return on investment for any private investor.
A detailed report on the feasibility of privatisation is expected by the end of the year. It is also being speculated that the government is interested in selling its 26% stake in the airport.
Once completed, the airport is expected to replace both Schönefeld and Berlin Tegel Airport to become the single commercial airport that will serve the country’s capital and the neighbouring state of Brandenburg.
The proposed airport has a projected annual passenger capacity of 27 million.

Autorizan la nueva Terminal 4 para el aeropuerto de Cancún.
El aeropuerto de Cancún (AIC), con 17 millones de pasajeros en el año 2.014, se ampliará con una nueva terminal 4 que acogerá nueve millones de pasajeros adicionales para completar una capacidad de servicio a más de 25 millones de pasajeros.
El Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún (AIC) cerrará el año 2.015 con récord de 18 millones de pasajeros movilizados, con un incremento del 33% en espacios comerciales tan sólo en la terminal 3 y al menos 18 nuevas rutas principalmente hacia Centro, Sudamérica y Estados Unidos.
El director comercial del aeropuerto dijo que la terminal 4 tendrá una renovación con marcas de renombre internacional, una nueva zona duty free, así como un nuevo segmento de restaurantes con importantes cadenas.
El aeropuerto de Cancún aporta más del 80% de los ingresos comerciales que generan las 9 terminales que tiene en concesión Asur desde el año 2000. El gasto promedio por pasajero comunicado en el reporte del primer trimestre del año es de 82.59 pesos, con un incremento de 19.1% en ventas comerciales de las 9 terminales operadas por Asur.
En los 15 años que han transcurrido desde que Asur tomó en concesión el aeropuerto Cancún, se ha triplicado el volumen de pasajeros que éste moviliza, pues en el año 2000 el tráfico era de apenas seis millones. La terminal genera 16.000 empleos directos y es quizá el aeropuerto con más influencia regional en México.

Munich Airport's Midfield terminal open for business in April 2016 with 9.300 sqm retail & catering areas.
After Terminal 2 at Munich Airport exceeded its annual capacity limit of 25 million passengers annually (PAX) at the end of 2011 the new satellite terminal with a handling capacity of 11 million passengers is urgently required. Koch+Partner came out as the winner of the multistage international competition and were assigned with a contract as general planner for the planning stages 2 to 8, from preliminary design to project supervision. The building shall be flexible in use and have the possibility of future expansion. In the first stage, the existing baggage sorting hall on the eastern apron of the airfield will be expanded and increased. At a later stage, a second phase of construction may be completed in the East. The construction works started in May 2012. Although the satellite is not a new terminal in itself, it will be a functional and operational extension of Terminal 2 – without its own landside connection. One of the highest design principles is the affiliation and recognition with Terminal 2. Although the Satellite is not a new terminal in itself, it will be a functional and operational extension of Terminal 2 – without its own land-side connection and will enhance the function of Munich Airport as a hub considerably. The Satellite and Terminal 2 will be connected via a driverless underground passenger transport system (PTS) in less than one minute. The building shell for the tunnels and the stations of the PTS were already built during the construction of Terminal 2.
