One thing Germany does well, you might assume, is infrastructure and transport. Think again. For Global Business on the BBC World Service, Chris Bowlby\\u2019s had a rare behind the scenes tour of Berlin\\u2019s new airport. It\\u2019s billions over budget, already seven years late in opening, and is still being rebuilt before a single plane\\u2019s landed. So what\\u2019s gone so wrong in a place supposed to be the capital of efficient engineering? And is the Berlin airport fiasco a warning for infrastructure builders everywhere?
