• main reasons for the engagement of WVZ
• loyality to the region, preventing the
  airfield from getting closed
• good chance to earn much money on a long
  term, the conception is based on the
  following facts
• first class strategic location in regard to
  traffic, logistics and the conurbation of
  north Berlin/Brandenburg
• still missing alternate for the future
  single airport BBI
• still missing functional regional airports
  around Berlin
• LCCs looking for alternatives to BBI for
  serving Berlin
• enough space, the ground lease allows an
  airport with 240 ha plus an industrial
  zone of 150 ha
• own business interests in the improvement
  and development of the airfield and
  industrial zone around
