The dismantling and clearance of the facility is expected to cost €6m
On Tuesday (May 4), Tegel Airport’s permit to function as a commercial hub expired after ceasing operations in November of last year and moving premises to Berlin Brandenburg Willy Brandt (BER).
The hub was required to close six months after BER’s south runway began operating, as stated in the certification issued by the senate.
After more than 70 years of service, the airport saw its last take-off with an Air France service to Paris on November 8, 2020. Following this, the site went into ‘sleep mode’ as aircraft operations ended.

After finally opening in October 2020 following years of delays, the operator of Berlin Brandenburg Willy Brandt airport expects a further five-year wait until pre-pandemic passenger levels return and has warned of the need for continued shareholder support to offset lost revenues.
Average daily passengers handled by Berlin Brandenburg airport of around 7,500 in the first weeks of January are roughly 10% of the levels recorded at the same stage last year. At that point the city was served by Schoenefeld and Tegel airports, before the newly consolidated Berlin Brandenburg facility opened.
