Focus, the German news magazine put up a short news item this morning, concerning the comments of the Lufthansa CEO (Thorsten Dirks) over the new Berlin Airport (still under construction, six years after it was supposed to be completed).
In simple terms, Dirks says that the whole airport ought to be scrapped....torn down, and rebuilt.
He points out several interesting reasons for his comments.
For example, most of the equipment and furniture that Lufthansa would have had in their work areas.....are now obsolete.
Another item which got brought up this week was the replacement of 750 monitors throughout the airport which would have provided information for the passengers. The warranty for the power supply was set for six years.....so they have no choice but to replace them.
The odds of someone in a place of authority stopping the project and tearing it down? Zero chance. I do agree, it's got an enormous 'jinx' attached to it and I expect a minimum of two more years before it is officially running.
For someone doing a thesis on poor planning, the Airport would be worth a hundred pages.
