The station is located in a 3.1-kilometre-long (1.9 mi) tunnel, on theGlasower Damm Ost–Bohnsdorf Süd railway and theGrünauer Kreuz–Berlin Brandenburg Airport railway, both of which branch off theBerlin–Görlitz railway; the Glasower Damm Ost–Bohnsdorf Süd railway also branched off theBerlin outer ring. It is in the municipal territory ofSchönefeld, just outsideBerlin.
Construction of the station began in 2007 and the construction of the tunnels was completed on 25 June 2009. The station was handed over toDeutsche Bahn on 30 March 2010 and has been electrified since 7 June 2011.[5][6] The public clients agreed to pay a fixed price of 285 million euros, although the actual construction cost was well below that number.[7] While the airport itself was not in operation, empty trains were running through the tunnels to drive out humidity.[8] DB ultimately sued the airport for damages due to the unused station. The station was opened for regular passenger traffic on 26 October 2020,[9] a few days before opening of the airport.
The station is served byBerlin S-Bahn,Regional-Express andInterCity services. The station lies directly under the airport terminal and has six platforms. Two of these are terminating platforms for theS-Bahn linesS45 andS9.[10] The airport is connected withBerlin Hauptbahnhof (Berlin main station) by theAirport Express (FEX), with a journey time of 29 minutes as well as slower regional and suburban connections. Upgrades on theBerlin Dresden railway will enable faster and more frequent FEX, RE and IC service in 2025. Then two stops atPotsdamer Platz andBerlin Südkreuz will be part of theAirport Express (FEX), which is planned to make the trip to Berlin Hauptbahnhof (Berlin main station) in 20 minutes.[11] Until then, theAirport Express (FEX) will run viaBerlin-Gesundbrunnen andOstkreuz.[12]
Deutsche Bahn confirmed in August 2011 that multiple daily Intercity-Express and InterCity trains will connect the airport toBielefeld,Hannover,Hamburg,Dresden andWolfsburg. EuroCity trains will also connect toWrocław andKraków inPoland andAmsterdam in theNetherlands.[11][13] After the delayed opening, it is not clear when this will happen. Currently there is only an InterCity train toDresden andRostock.
Due to the closure of Terminal 5, the station was renamedFlughafen BER station in December 2023, reflecting it is now the sole station serving the airport.[4]
The station is served by the following regular service(s):[14]
After upgrades on theBerlin Dresden railway, the airport express (FEX) to Hauptbahnhof is to run via Südkreuz andPotsdamer Platz.
