I’ve worked on airport design. €5bn is not that much and 10 years is not a particularly long build time. Heathrow’s T5 building was about £4bn and the design work started in the 1980’s and it had loads of teething problems also. What’s the big deal? It sounds like they were just unrealistic about how long it would take and how much it would cost.

If this sort of stuff is considered normal in the industry, that is a big problem. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Brandenburg_Airport https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Brandenburg_Airport
- aeyes 7y agoThe big deal is that it is done since 5+ years and they are postponing the opening because of a million minor issues without having any kind of schedule for fixing them. And whenever they are just about ready they find a million new issues. The big deal is that there is a lot of technology in there which now has to be replaced because it is reaching its end of life without ever being used. The big deal is that this is a waste of taxpayer money. If this was privately financed I wouldn't care either but it isn't. At this point whoever is working there is just milking us.
