Berlin Tegel Airport

Berlin, the German capital, has three airports (Tegel, Schoeneveld and the smaller Tempelhof). In 2011 there will be only one airport, Schoenefeld Airport will be renamed Hauptstadt-Airport Berlin-Brandenburg International (BBI). The number of passengers that Tegel processes has grown in the last years. In 2005 almost 12 million travelers used this airport, a 4.5% increase from 2004.

The airport has an hexagonal shaped terminal through which passengers only need to walk short distances, in the middle there is a parking garage. To accommodate the growing number of passengers, a second elongated terminal A1 has been built. Between the two terminals is the main building called “Boulevard Tegel”.
