BERLIN'S Brandenberg airport has a small problem.

There's no way to turn off the lights in the brand new building.

Technical director Horst Amann told German news service Spiegel.de: "We haven't progressed far enough with our lighting system that we can control it."

Sky News reported that the cost of the project has doubled original estimates, now standing at $5.45 billion.

Yes, although they have spent $5.45 billion on the building there is no way to turn off the lights. No light switches at all.

The construction site that will eventually become the Berlin International Airport was originally scheduled to begin operations in October 2011. Since work started construction shortcomings, design errors and technical glitches have been found.

No opening date has been set and project directors are refusing to even estimate when it may open.

"I will only name a date when I can take responsibility for it," Mr Amann said.
