→ 118 | Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH B Commercial Development Passenger volume is expected to continue to increase in the coming years. Aviation in Germany and in Berlin/Brandenburg is benefiting from growing interest in Germany as a travel destination as well as from increasing travel within the euro zone and within Germany. This development is encouraged by the continuing growth for low-cost airlines with the point-to-point flights. An increase by about 7.2% in comparison with 2015 to 31.8 million passengers is planned for the Berlin Airports in 2016, focusing especially on the legacy Schönefeld Airport. This will go hand in hand with an increase in aircraft movements. Handling this continued growth at the legacy airports Tegel and Schönefeld requires various measures to secure operations and capacities; some of these measures were concluded in 2015. Additional costs for the expansion of the infrastructure in the coming years are foreseen because of the extension of the operations of the legacy airport at Schönefeld approved by the Supervisory Board; at present, the intention is to use this facility until 2023. The sales revenues budgeted for 2016 will increase to about €354m because of the forecast rise in traffic volume and the increases in charges that have been approved. Growth in the important non-aviation business has been taken into account as well. The operational startup of BER will create a major driver of future growth for the Berlin Airport Company. The planned increase in operating expenditures results above all from an increase in personnel in the growing operating business and additional costs that will temporarily be incurred in the middle term in the HR sector for the completion of BER and further infrastructure measures. In addition, more services will be utilised, especially temporarily, in 2016 revolving around the conduct of the technical work and preparation for the operational startup of BER as well as the realisation of new infrastructure measures. As a consequence of the burdens from the expenditures for BER, a consolidated loss of €-148.1m has been budgeted as the net loss for the year in 2016.

Unsere Zahlen | 119 ← C The New Berlin Brandenburg Airport C.1 Completion of construction and opening The construction work in the passenger terminal will be concluded in a number of stages until summer 2016. First the Main Pier North, then the Main Pier South and finally the central part of the passenger terminal will be completed. The technical startup of the equipment and systems installed in BER will begin parallel to the completion of construction. It will be followed by the acceptance of the passenger terminal required by construction laws and the trial operation of procedures at BER. C.2 Creation of additional capacities On 25 September 2015, FBB set the first signposts for a further expansion of the aviation infrastructure at Schönefeld. The Supervisory Board gave a green light for the first partial package that will secure traffic growth at Schönefeld until the opening of BER, make possible the construction of the government airport and initiate the middle-term expansion of the site until 2023. By that time, FBB calculates there will be up to 40 million passengers in Berlin traffic. Schönefeld, 9 March 2016 Dr Karsten Mühlenfeld Heike Fölster
