The idea of building one large, modern airport that would handle most of the flights in Berlin was met with enthusiasm. This airport was supposed to become the third biggest airport in Germany, after Frankfurt and Munich. But the opening has been put off several times and is already almost 3,000 days overdue. Some people even believe that the new airport is doomed and will have to be torn down and rebuilt. What could be so wrong with the airport that it would fail to open for so many years? Well, at the very last moment, the airport's opening is called off due to some mysterious "technical issues..."

But no such luck! Today, the number has already reached a staggering 8.2 billion dollars (7.3 billion euro), and that's not even the final figure! - The construction of the airport started in 2006, and the plan was to open the airport in the summer of 2012. However, the opening has been put off several times and is already almost 3,000 days overdue. - One of the main problems (yep, there are lots!) is a fire-alarm system which turns out to be too complicated and, what’s worse - faulty! - When the airport was testing their efficiency with all those volunteers, each check-in desk had to serve about 60 passengers per hour. Unfortunately, check-in staff only managed to handle half that number. - There are serious structural problems with the ceiling. In short, the roof may actually collapse. That's probably because it's twice as heavy as its authorized weight. - Nowadays, all 750 flight information displays have to be replaced since they’ve been working since the original opening date and have sadly reached their limit. - It's located pretty far away from the city, and not all the passengers will be willing to make such a long journey to catch a short direct flight. It's true that some big international airports, let's say, Tokyo Narita Airport, are situated far from the cities they serve.
