Bad Timing
Air Berlin A330 D-ALPI taxies past the spectators terrace at Dusseldorf in June 2012 complete with BER titles describing Berlin-Brandenburg as Europe's most modern airport. This is a effectively a major expansion of Schönefeld, the old East Berlin airport.
A dubious claim as six years later it is still not open and it won't be until 2020 or even 2021. Meanwhile Air Berlin have gone to the wall and the terrace from where I made this photo closed back in 2015.
The A330 shown started life with LTU, and after Air Berlin's collapse was put in storage, but in June 2018 found new use with Malaysia Airlines.
