Berlin Airport Expands with New North American Routes This Summer
Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) is expanding its international connections this summer. New routes to North America and increased services aim to boost the city's global links. The airport will now serve 155 destinations across 55 countries until late October.
The summer schedule at BER runs from now until October 24. Popular holiday spots like Mallorca, Antalya, and Paris remain top choices for travellers. Business routes to Vienna and Zurich also feature prominently.
Long-haul options are growing, with Air Transat resuming flights to Toronto from May 3. The airline will operate three times a week. Air Canada will follow in July, launching a new direct service to Montréal with at least three weekly flights. Delta Air Lines and United Airlines are both set to fly nonstop to New York this summer. Meanwhile, the federal government is reviewing a request for an extra slot for Emirates, though no final decision has been reached. The Dubai-based carrier had previously cut flights due to regional conflicts involving Iran. Berlin's state government has been actively pushing for more long-haul routes to strengthen international ties. However, details on how many additional take-off and landing rights the city has secured over the past five years remain unclear.
The expanded summer schedule reflects BER's efforts to broaden its global reach. With new North American routes and ongoing discussions for further growth, the airport continues to develop as a key travel hub. The changes come as demand for both leisure and business travel rises.
