Schedule to close
 

Along with Berlin-Tempelhof (THF), Tegel is scheduled to be replaced by an expanded Berlin-Schönefeld (SXF -- to be renamed "Berlin-Brandenburg International" around 2011). Tegel and Tempelhof are actually in Berlin, while Schönefeld is further out of town, in the former East Germany.

Berlin Airlift
 

From 1948-49, this airport was the command centre and destination of the Berlin Airlift -- nearly everything needed to feed, clothe, and warm 2.5 million people over 11 months through a cold winter flew in through Tempelhof, primarily in U.S. military C-47 and C-54 (DC-3 and DC-4) transports, with assistance from allies.
