Ryanair fights for preservation of Tegel

Actually, Tegel must close after the opening of the Berlin Brandenburg. Ryanair now fights with a citizens ' initiative that TXL besides BER stays open.

Actually, the Berlin airport should close 2018 Tegel. So at least it wants the current planning. Because a parallel operation of the old airport is not possible after the opening of the new airport Berlin Brandenburg. This because the current flight procedures for Tegel are not compatible with the flight routes of the future capital city airport.

Fight different circles that it is not so for a long time. One is "Berlin needs Tegel», behind which stands above all the local FDP the citizens initiative. It collects signatures to keep the old airport in addition to the new open. «BER's new airport to cope with maximum 27 million passengers a year. Already 2014 28 million passengers were carried off to Berlin airports and added every year about 2 million passengers», she argues. In addition, TXL besides BER prevent a gridlock in Berlin.

According to the taste of Ryanair

Now gets the celebrities support «Berlin needs Tegel». Ryanair will help the initiative. On all booking confirmations with departure Berlin, the low-cost airline will use a note on the signature collection. This writes the B.Z. tabloid. She will also install a prominent notice on the home page. «We support the idea that Berlin such as London and Paris has several functioning airports», so Ryanair chief marketing officer Kenny Jacobs to the journal.

Ryanair currently flies although not according to Tegel, but only to Schönefeld. But the Irish could benefit massively if the classic airlines BER pull and release capacity. Then, to an airport, Tegel would according to the gusto of Ryanair: fast way, close to the city, unpretentious. Also could the airline major customer from Tegel and influence so the mutant to low cost Airport Airport also for their own purposes.
