New "Dresden Railway": Berlin now even easier to reach from BER Airport

Berlin, 11 December 2025 From 14 December, Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) will be quicker and easier to reach: with the launch of the new "Dresdner Bahn" railway line, the journey time of the FEX airport express between BER and the main railway station will be reduced to 23 minutes. At the same time, the frequency will double: In future, the FEX will run every 15 minutes instead of every 30 minutes. visitBerlin expressly welcomes this significant improvement.

The FEX will thus become the fastest connection between the airport and the main railway station. It will only stop at two stations – Südkreuz and Potsdamer Platz – and will use the new 16-kilometre southern route instead of the previous route via Ostkreuz and Gesundbrunnen. Five years after the opening of BER, the Dresdner Bahn will complete the airport's rail connection. The Berlin–Dresden route will also benefit: the journey time will be reduced by around ten minutes.

Further information about Berlin and travelling to Berlin can be found at visitBerlin.de. For visitors to Berlin, the Berlin Welcome Centre in Terminal 1 of BER Airport is the first point of contact. With the new Berlin Welcome Card app, visitBerlin also offers a digital planning tool that bundles offers, discounts and, in future, BVG ticketing, thus ideally complementing any trip to Berlin.
