It’s not wrong, though.

You added some really valuable context but it doesn’t detract from BER being relatively inexpensive compared to other airport projects.

But it does incorrectly describe BER as a "brand new airport", where the reality is: "The northern runway of BER is the southern runway of the old Schönefeld Airport and has been in use since the 1960s." (Wikipedia) and also it's a single terminal. At this point, it's then very similar to the Heathrow project in what's being delivered, except for the added context I gave.
