Most airlines are back with a wide range of European holiday destinations as well as regular scheduled flights. Holidays, business trips and visits from friends and family are now possible again on a large scale and tourism in the capital region is picking up again. Up to 30,000 passengers will travel daily to and from Schönefeld and Tegel in July. The airports are, therefore, making a big contribution to the economy and tourism in the capital region.”

Burkhard Kieker, Managing Director of visitBerlin: “The increase in air traffic is a major boost for tourism in Berlin, which is now gaining momentum. Berlin is slowly getting back to its role as Germany’s biggest host and is once again receiving more international guests.

Mathias Knospe, Head of Marketing, TMB Tourismus-Marketing Brandenburg GmbH: “There are only a few restrictions in still in place in Brandenburg due to the corona pandemic. We are pleased that, as of today, we are once again able to welcome more international guests arriving via the airports to the capital region. This is another positive sign for tourism as a whole and an important step on the path back to normality.”
