The automatic doors in Berlin’s as-yet unopened Berlin-Brandenburg Airport (BER) are no longer causing delays to the project, Engelbert Lütke Daldrup told the Berlin state parliament on Wednesday. In January airport authorities confirmed what was an open secret - the airport would not open in 2017. On Wednesday Lütke Daldrup confirmed that modifications to the sprinkler system would be completed at the start of 2018 on the most optimistic estimate. One former project planner for the airport has even suggested that the airport will never open due to complications involved in rebuilding its fire safety systems.
