It is the first hangar built by easyJet outside the UK.

At its new hangar, the airline will carry out maintenance and servicing work for its European fleet, which currently includes 135 aircraft.

Construction work on the hangar, which features a lightweight steel construction, began in September 2021.

Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg CEO Aletta von Massenbach said: “easyJet has a significant route network from BER. The decision to build the new maintenance site here at BER is, therefore, obvious and, at the same time, also an important commitment to the capital region.

“This modern hangar will safely and efficiently provide maintenance to easyJet’s European fleet. BER and the airline have further deepened their partnership through this joint construction project and are sending a clear message about their future together.”
