- maze-le 10y agoHolger Klein has done some very good in-depth interviews with Martin Delius (part of the parlamentary inquiry) about this issue. Sorry it's only in german, but is definitly worth listening if you can overcome the language barrier. [0]: http://www.wrint.de/die-ber-gespraeche/ http://www.wrint.de/die-ber-gespraeche/

He will be replaced by an SPD politician, Lütke Daldrup.
- martinald 10y agoVery cool site. I fly to Berlin a lot (mainly SXF) and it is such a pain this airport is still not open. SXF is a horrendous airport. Not enough seating and i know of two plug sockets in the whole airport. Recent passenger growth combined with the appalling layout means it is horrendously congested.
