The opening of Berlin's new airport may be delayed for the second time this year, with local officials considering a further postponement to the autumn of 2013.

The new Willy Brandt Airport will replace the aging Tegel and Schoenefeld airports, which served West and East Berlin respectively during the Cold War.

However, there have been technical problems during construction and the project has become a growing embarrassment for local politicians.
