The plan was for us to land in Zurich at 4.30 pm, coming from Berlin. Due to the strong hurricane Niklas, we arrived three hours later. From Gate A81 we walked to the SWISS Senator Lounge before boarding the SWISS Economy Class Airbus A340-300 to Singapore.
Frankfurt Airport is the largest airport in Germany in terms of annual passenger numbers. Frankfurt currently has four runways. From the spotter's point of view, planespotting Frankfurt is particularly interesting due to the extensive cargo traffic and the many international passenger airlines and the two parallel runways (07L/25R and 07R/25L).
Berlin Brandenburg Airport "Willy Brandt," or BER for short, has been under construction since September 5, 2006, on the southern outskirts of Berlin in Schönefeld, Brandenburg. Whether and when it will ever open is still uncertain at this point. We're taking the opportunity for a unique tour of the airport grounds.
