BerlinTegel

Berlin Tegel Airport, originally known as Tempelhof Airport, is a major international airport located in the borough of Tempelhof-Schöneberg in Berlin, Germany. It is one of the busiest airports in Europe and serves as a hub for Lufthansa, the national airline of Germany. The airport is situated approximately 10 kilometers south of the city center and is easily accessible by public transportation.

The airport was opened in 1936 and was initially named Tempelhof Airport after the nearby Tempelhof district. It was renamed Berlin Tegel Airport in 1961, after the nearby Tegel district. The airport has undergone several expansions and renovations over the years to accommodate the growing number of passengers and airlines.

Berlin Tegel Airport has three passenger terminals, each with its own set of gates and facilities. Terminal 1 is primarily used for domestic flights, while Terminals 2 and 5 handle international flights. The airport also has a cargo terminal and a general aviation area.

The airport is served by several airlines, including Lufthansa, Eurowings, and Condor. It offers a wide range of destinations, both domestic and international, and is a popular choice for both business and leisure travelers.

In recent years, there has been a debate about the future of Berlin Tegel Airport. The German government has proposed the construction of a new airport in the Brandenburg region to relieve pressure from the existing airports in Berlin. However, the future of Berlin Tegel Airport remains uncertain, and it is expected to continue serving as a major hub for air travel in the region for the foreseeable future.
