Europe's biggest airport expansion is finally complete
Germany’s largest airport has unveiled its new €4BN terminal. Taking over a decade to build, Frankfurt’s T3 can handle 19 million passengers per year, thanks to its three giant piers, and it’s completed a major extension to its Sky Line people mover too.
But there’s been a lot of pressure on this project, which could not afford to fail after the fiasco that was Berlin’s new airport. So, has Germany managed to redeem itself with one of Europe’s biggest privately funded infrastructure schemes, or is this just another Brandenburg?
