In dialogue

Constructive exchange with our neighbours

Dialogue Forum
Airport Berlin Brandenburg

Logo of Dialogue Forum Airport Berlin Brandenburg

The Dialogue Forum Airport Berlin Brandenburg
provides a platform for communication and cooperation between the cities and municipalities, districts and counties surrounding BER Airport. The dialogue forum is made up of twelve municipalities and cities in the airport region, three southern Berlin districts, three administrative districts, the states of Berlin and Brandenburg as well as Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH and Berlin-Brandenburg Area Development Company GmbH.

Many people are sitting around a large conference table.

The municipal working group aims to promote fair dialogue, build trust, agree development goals and facilitate a sustainable balance of interests between the partners involved. We aim to proactively support the opportunities and challenges of the airport region through joint action.

Furthermore, the airport company is involved in the Kommunales Nachbarschaftsforum Berlin-Brandenburg (KNF) e.V. (Berlin-Brandenburg Municipal Neighbourhood Forum) to maintain an ongoing dialogue with neighbouring communities.

The magazine is published regularly in cooperation with a regional publishing house and is distributed free of charge in the immediate vicinity of the airport.

A guest in the communities of the airport region

Transparent communication and open dialogue on the issues that affect people in the surrounding area: This is what the “Neighbours in Dialogue” format stands for. With this we travel to various municipalities in the vicinity of BER several times a year to talk on site with the city councils, municipal representatives and citizens about the importance of the airport for the region and other topics relevant to the surrounding area.

The dialogue is geared towards individual local needs. We are, therefore, giving local authorities the opportunity to select key topics in advance, which will be presented and discussed at the event. These include aircraft noise, flight routes and noise charges, the noise abatement programme, air quality issues, ecological compensation and replacement measures and the airport company’s work in the surrounding area.

“Neighbours in Dialogue” was initiated in 2021 as an information and exchange format for the surrounding communities and neighbouring Berlin districts. Since then, we have been on site in almost all municipalities in the airport region to give residents the opportunity to play an active part in the dialogue.
