S-Bahn to BER Airport disrupted until August 31
From August 18, part of the S-Bahn route connecting central Berlin to Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) will be closed. Here’s what passengers need to know:
On August 18, a segment of the S-Bahn route linking central Berlin with Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) will be suspended for track repairs. Passengers should take note of the following details:
The S-Bahn connection between central Berlin and BER Airport will be interrupted between stations Treptower Park and Schöneweide, from August 18 to 31. Those relying on the S85 or S9 to reach BER Airport will need to switch to a replacement bus service from Treptower Park to Plänterwald and Baumschulenweg, which then connects to Schöneweide.
The S-Bahn service is expected to resume operation from Schönewide and continue to BER. Travelers aiming to circumvent the replacement bus can explore alternative routes. The RB24 and RB32 services, both stopping at Ostkreuz, Schöneweide, and BER Airport, serve as viable options. Additionally, passengers can utilize the Flughafen Express (FEX) departing from Berlin Hauptbahnhof, Potsdamer Platz, or Berlin Südkreuz.
It is important to note that since December 2025, the FEX no longer operates between Gesundbrunnen and Ostkreuz and BER Airport.
