A Handy Travel Guide to Three Berlin Airlines

October 18th, 2009 No comments

Standing out for its unusual architectural design, Berlin Tegel airport was constructed in the shape of a hexagon surrounding a square.

The architects who designed Berlin Tegel airport did so with practicality at the forefront of the minds, and despite this being a huge international airport there is only a 30 meter walk from the terminal to the aircraft and vice versa. This is a good thing as around 14 and a half million passengers used Berlin international airport in 2008, making it one of Germany’s busiest transport hubs. This passenger traffic has more than doubled since 1993 when 7 million passengers used Berlin Tegel international airport.

However, that will not stop it being closed in 2012 to make way for the new and improved facility – Berlin Brandenburg international airport. Currently TUI fly, Air Berlin and Lufthansa are the three major airlines which use Berlin Tegel international airport. All of these airlines offer a special evening early check in service which is a great time saver.

Air Berlin flies to Alicante, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Helsinki, Malaga, Paris Orly, Rhodes and many other world wide and domestic destinations.

A few of the popular Lufthansa routes are to Dusseldorf, Moscow and Munich while TUI fly regularly goes to Cairo, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, Tel Aviv and Venice Marco Polo among others.

It was only following the tearing down of the Berlin Wall in 1990 that Lufthansa resumed flights from Berlin Tegel international airport, recommencing their routes on the 28th of October.

Air France was actually the first airline to have flights from Berlin Tegel international airport and it still does regular routes to Paris Charles De Gaulle airport. This is because France was among the victorious allies which took control of West Germany. The American airline Pan Am was the second airline to start flying from Berlin Tegel international airport.

During the 1970’s and 80’s there was also a British airline called Dan Air which actually set up charter flights between Berlin Tegel international airport and Amsterdam Schiphol airport in Holland, as well as London Gatwick airport in England. Other well travelled routes are from Berlin to Athens airport with Aegean Airlines, London Heathrow airport with British Airways and John F Kennedy New York airport with Delta Air Lines.

Berlin has five main terminals, terminal A, terminal B, terminal C, terminal D and terminal E. Terminal A has 14 bridges, Terminal B is known as Nebel Hall and terminal C only recently opened in May 2007. Terminal C is used almost exclusively by the national German carrier Air Berlin. Terminal D was converted from being a car park in 2001 to make even more room at the airport and there are 22 check in desks there, while there are only three international check in desks at terminal E.
