BER expects 3.7 million passengers for summer 2026

Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg forecasts 3.7 million passengers for the summer 2026 holiday period, marking a 100,000 increase over 2024. Operators anticipate peak traffic on 10 July and 21–23 August, with approximately 90,000 travelers daily on those dates. The first holiday weekend, 23–27 July, will see around 390,000 passengers. Roughly 24,300 aircraft movements are scheduled across the six-week season. This volume reflects stable post-pandemic demand recovery, aligning with pre-2019 trends in tourist flight segments. High load factors will impact crew scheduling, security throughput, and ground handling operations. External variables like extreme heat or weather disruptions may alter actual figures, but current projections indicate sustained sector growth with European destinations dominating 88 percent of flights.
