Berlin The capital airport Berlin Brandenburg (BER) sees a delivery embargo for Russian oil rather calmly. The airport does not have to worry, but is ultimately indirectly affected by the airlines, said airport boss Aletta von Massenbach. Because of the kerosene, the airlines have their own supply contracts with mineral oil companies.

The background is that the greater Berlin-Brandenburg area is supplied with 95 percent of petrol, diesel and heating oil from the PCK refinery in Schwedt, Brandenburg.
