Lessening the impact
While BBI airport will create half the combined annual carbon emissions of Tegel, SchÖnefeld and Templehof airports, environmental efforts do not stop there, says Tom Blass.
Turbo boost
A new airport will further propel the fortunes of the Berlin-Brandenburg region’s clean technology and aerospace companies, writes Tom Blass.
Berlin moves on
Vital transport links, including BBI and the Hauptbahnhof station, have already attracted big-name businesses to set up operations in Berlin, reveals Tom Blass.
