Field and clock profile
Berlin Brandenburg Airport is a near sea-level field at 157 ft (48 m), positioned at 52.3617° N, 13.5023° E in the Northern high mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 2 runways and a longest runway of 13,123 ft / 4,000 m.

Country airport peers
BER is compared with DRS Dresden at 138 km, HAM Hamburg at 274 km, PAD Büren at 345 km, FMO Greven at 397 km, DTM Dortmund at 414 km inside the retained Germany airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.

OurAirports classifies BER as a large airport with scheduled service, which gives it stronger planning value than a code-only lookup.
BER (EDDB) is a near sea-level field at 157 ft (48 m) in the high mid-latitudes, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
BER also has a clear airline-network role: the source summary describes it as condor, easyjet, eurowings, ryanair and sundair.
BER's runway record lists 2 runways, with the longest runway at 13,123 ft / 4,000 m and source surfaces recorded as ASPH, concrete.
Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for BER.
- It is located 18 kilometres (11 mi) south-east of the city centre and serves as a base for Condor, easyJet, Eurowings, Ryanair and Sundair.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at ber.berlin-airport.de, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
Decision matrix for BER
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters
BER uses Europe/Berlin (CEST, UTC+02:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Berlin Brandenburg Airport is about 19 km from central Berlin; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
DRS Dresden is the closest retained alternate at 138 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
ber.berlin-airport.de is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
How this airport compares nearby
These comparisons place BER inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
Country-rank position
BER ranks #1 in the curated Germany airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 15 airports.
Same-zone airport cohort
BER shares Europe/Berlin with CGN Köln (Cologne) DE · DRS Dresden DE · DTM Dortmund DE · DUS Düsseldorf DE · FKB Rheinmünster DE · FMM Memmingen DE. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
Elevation-neighbor cohort
BER is 157 ft (48 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include LIL 157 ft (48 m) (0 ft delta) · OMO 156 ft (48 m) (1 ft delta) · DIL 154 ft (47 m) (3 ft delta) · FMO 160 ft (49 m) (3 ft delta) · ANC 152 ft (46 m) (5 ft delta).
Coordinate-neighbor check
BER's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are DRS 138 km +0h · KLV 243 km +0h · PRG 257 km +0h · WRO 272 km +0h.

Airport Details
Timezone
Ground Transport and Nearby Context
The airport sits in the normal outer-ring range for a major metro gateway, so rail, shuttle coach, and ride-hail all matter when you judge the fastest arrival.
Berlin is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Berlin Brandenburg Airport has 5 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Nearby city time anchors
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from BER, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
