For a capital city, Berlin has really shat the bed with this airport considering the time and money put into it.

Flying outside Europe anyways required an extra flight and now connectivity to other European cities gets worse.

You also have to take anything Ryanair says with a grain of salt. This just sounds like brinkmanship to me. They regularly trot out the "pay to pee" mantra so that everything else they subject passengers to seems to pale in comparison.

I, for one, doubt they're really leaving. They're just hoping for a better deal.

Art of the deal?

Frankfurt and Munich have done everything to hinder Berlin's emergence as an air hub. But local incompetence plays a major role too

Trains not planes. Wind not oil. Germany is doing everything right!

Forcing your choices on everyone because of excessive costs isn't really "right"

You mean failing to subsidise those costs as much as other countries? I mean, I like democracy, but I wish we some leaders could convince people they don't really want to burn all of our house down.
