In a meeting held on Aug 16, the supervisory board of Berlin Brandenburg
Airport discussed the
next steps with regard to the completion of the new airport Berlin Brandenburg
Willy Brandt. Key topics were a decision concerning noise protection for
local residents as well as the time and cost management for the airport, says a statement.
Horst Amann, the new COO is currently evaluating the planned opening
date of 17 March 2013. “We expect to have clarity with regard to the opening
date by the next supervisory board meeting in mid-September, “ he said.
”Today the supervisory board of our company has taken a key decision
concerning the noise protection of local residents,” said Dr. Rainer Schwarz, CEO of Berlin Airports. The request for
clarification that was lodged with the Infrastructure Ministry of Brandenburg
will be withdrawn, " said Schwarz. This request for clarification aimed to
establish that a particular noise threshold could be exceeded up to six times a
day.
“We will intensify our efforts concerning
noise protection measures in the coming months. Our noise protection team will
be strengthened and consultation times for residents will be extended. We will
also establish a new information centre at Schönefeld Airport."
