NOTAM 5635/2026, issued on 13 November, confirms that Berlin Brandenburg Airport’s primary runway 06L/24R is closed nightly from 22:30 UTC until 04:30 UTC through the morning of 14 November for surface-resurfacing works. Several taxiways remain closed or restricted, prompting altered taxi patterns for Code E aircraft. During the closure, all arrivals and departures are funneled onto runway 06R/24L. Eurocontrol’s slot monitor shows a moderate capacity reduction after 22:00, with Lufthansa shifting its late-evening Frankfurt shuttle to an earlier slot and easyJet warning of potential 15-minute turnaround extensions. Business-aviation handlers report that ad-hoc night slots for executive jets are currently unavailable. Freight forwarders using Qatar Cargo’s A330F rotation have been advised of possible reroutes via Leipzig if tailwinds push arrival beyond 22:20 UTC. Travellers booked on late-night departures—including long-haul flights to Doha and Abu Dhabi—should enrol in airline SMS alerts and allow additional time for busing to remote stands, as gate allocations may change at short notice. Early-morning arrivals on 14 November could face holding patterns if works overrun. The runway will reopen fully before the Monday morning rush, but further maintenance phases are expected in December. Mobility planners with winter schedules should monitor fresh NOTAMs; any slippage could coincide with the holiday peak, compounding congestion from traditional snow-related de-icing delays.
