Berlin Tegel, the most important airport in Berlin for home flights and
European flights, is located close to the city. At the southeast city
skirt, Berlin Schönefeld is momentarily still labelled as ‘holiday
airport’, but from 2006 the airport – which will then be called BBI
Berlin-Brandenburg International – will be extended and made into an
international junction. The future of airport Tempelhof is still
unknown.
