Mehdorn named a number of obstacles during the construction process: conflicts of interest between the three shareholders; the extreme complexity of the German construction law, which was not suitable for major projects; the successive enlargement of the airport during its construction; as well as a lack of leadership and overview on the management level. He said that he had been the first to set up a functioning management and that he had built up effective reporting structures. According to him, the airport was on the right track now to be finished by spring 2016 and, after a phase of tests, finally to be opened in mid-2017. He was convinced that the airport would become a landmark of Berlin and that Berliners would be proud of it.
