The new Berlin Brandenburg Airport (German: Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg "Willy Brandt") is an international airport in Schönefeld, just south of the German capital Berlin in the state of Brandenburg. The new airport replaced nearby Schönefeld as well as Tegel and Tempelhof airports and became the single commercial airport serving Berlin and the surrounding State of Brandenburg, an area with a combined 6 million inhabitants. With projected annual passenger numbers of around 34 million, Berlin Brandenburg Airport is set to become the third busiest airport in Germany surpassing Düsseldorf Airport and making it one of the fifteen busiest in Europe.
