Berlin's Governing Mayor Kai Wegner (CDU) has renewed his criticism that there are too few international flights from eastern Germany. "We finally need more intercontinental flight connections from Berlin-Brandenburg Airport," he said after consultations at the meeting of the prime ministers of the eastern German states in Berlin.
"We have 180 international flight connections a day from western German airports, and around seven from eastern German airports," Wegner said. "This is an unacceptable imbalance at the expense of the eastern German regions."
