Welcome BER

 

“Make one out of three!” That’s the slogan for this event, because few years ago it was decided that Germany’s capital Berlin needs a modern and efficient new airport to replace the old and historically important airfields Berlin-Tegel(EDDT), Berlin-Schönefeld(EDDB) and Berlin-Tempelhof(EDDI).

 

On June 3rd 2012 the wait is over! We are delighted to invite you to the grand opening of the “Berlin Brandenburg Airport” (EDDB/BER)! It is also named after the former Berlin mayor and chancellor of Germany Willy Brandt. You’ll get the unique possibility to experience this brand new major airport on day one of its operations. The opening of an important airport is also a premiere in VATSIM’s history. Become part of this historic moment, because otherwise what do you want to tell your grandchildren if they ask you one day why you have not?

 

There is a lot of work for us to be done by then, to get all the charts and procedures ready. A freeware scenery is already available on AVSIM. We are looking forward to your visit and a great opening event!
