| Cold War era During the Berlin Airlift in 1948 what was then the longest runway in Europe (2,428 m) was built at Tegel. West Berlin's special legal status during the Cold War era (8 May 1945 - 2 October 1990) meant that all air traffic to and from the Western half of Germany's divided former and present capital was restricted to the airlines of the three Western victorious powers of World War II, i.e. only those headquartered in the US, UK and France. In addition, all flightdeck crew, i.e. pilots, flight engineers and navigators, flying aircraft into and out of West Berlin through the Allied air corridors were required to hold American, British or French passports.[1] Air France was the first airline to commence regular commercial operations at Tegel on 2 January 1960. The airline decided to transfer its operations from Tempelhof Airport to Tegel because the former airport's runways were too short to handle first generation jet aircraft such as the Aérospatiale Caravelle, Boeing 707, De Havilland Comet and Douglas DC-8 without payload or range restrictions.[2] Pan Am became the second airline to commence year-round, scheduled operations at Tegel Airport when...

| Berlin-Schönefeld airport was opened on 15 October 1934, with the construction of the Henschel aircraft plant (MLG) in Schönefeld. Until the end of the Second World War over 14,000 airplanes were built there. On 22 April 1945 MLG was occupied by Soviet troops. The equipment for aircraft construction was either dismantled or blown up. Later, up until 1947, railways were repaired and agricultural machinery was built and repaired on the site. In 1946 Soviet air forces moved from Johannisthal to Schönefeld, and Aeroflot started operating from the airport. In 1947 the Soviet military administration of Germany approved the construction of a civilian airport at the site in SMAD (instruction NR. 93). Following World War II, Tempelhof was used as a U.S. Air Force base, while the Soviet air force relocated to Schönefeld during 1946. Tempelhof was returned to civil administration in 1951, Schönefeld in 1954 and Tegel in 1960. Tegel and Schönefeld served the civilian populations of West Berlin and East Berlin, respectively. Between 1947 and 1990 Schönefeld airport was renamed several times and became the central airport of the... ( broken link) |
