Carrier sues over Brandenburg fiasco

摘要

Air Berlin is taking legal action against Berlin's airport operator, Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg, after the two companies were unable to hammer out a compensation deal over the delayed opening of the German capital's new airport. The new flagship hub, Berlin Brandenburg, was due to open in June this year, but in May its operator announced a delay, initially of 10 months, but which then grew to more than a year-and-a-half. Air Berlin claims it has incurred "tens of millions [of euros]" in additional costs and other losses because it has been unable to move to the new facility as planned.
