Civil airport of entry located only 4km south of downtown Berlin. Designed in 1923 and completed in 1927 Tempelhof is one of the worlds oldest still operating airports. It was first airport to have underground rail station. Tempelhof was the airport used in Berlin airlift when allies supplied West Berliners with victuals during Soviet blockade in 1948. In 1975 all commercial traffic moved to newly opened Tegel airport and US Air Force operated exclusively at Tempelhof for next 10 years. Airport is scheduled to close in October 2008. US Air Force closed its base at Tempelhof in 1993. General aviation and few remaining scheduled flights to Vaxjo (Aviatrns), Mannheim (Cirrus Airlines) Graz (InterSky) and Brussels (Brussels Airlines) are still operated from here and handles about 600,000 passangers annualy.
