It will be our pleasure to welcome the aviation industry in Berlin for the International Airport Summit. Since the opening of BER Airport in 2020, we have consequently focused on operational excellence and improvements in passenger service. The inception of digital processes such as a slot booking service for the security checks (BER Runway), integration of all major airlines to our self-service check-in including facial recognition (BER Biometrics), and an AI supported Digital Turnaround solution for our aviation processes paid out with a substantial increase in customer satisfaction and honours such as the 4-star rating and the “Most Improved Airport” award by Skytrax.”
Berlin Brandenburg Airport’s partnership highlights its commitment to fostering industry collaboration and innovation. The summit will feature keynote speeches, panel discussions, and interactive sessions led by influential speakers from leading airports, airlines, and aviation authorities. Participants will gain actionable insights into emerging trends and strategies shaping the future of aviation.
International Airport Review Editor, Holly Miles said:
We are thrilled to welcome Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) as our official airport partner for the International Airport Summit 2025. BER’s transformation from a challenging inception to becoming a beacon of innovation and efficiency in the aviation industry is truly commendable.
“Berlin’s journey is a testament to resilience and forward-thinking. Despite a controversial opening, BER has rapidly evolved, embracing cutting-edge technologies and sustainable practices that set new standards in passenger experience and operational excellence. Notably, BER has implemented AI-driven aircraft handling systems to optimise turnaround times, enhancing punctuality and efficiency. The introduction of BER Biometrics allows for seamless, contactless passenger processing through facial recognition technology. Additionally, the airport’s adoption of the BER Runway virtual queuing system has significantly improved the security screening process .
“Hosting the summit in Berlin provides attendees with a unique opportunity to experience first-hand how BER has integrated innovation into every facet of its operations. It’s an inspiring backdrop for discussions on the future of aviation, and we couldn’t be more excited to showcase BER’s achievements to our global audience.”
