Tempelhof International Airport, THF

Tempelhof International Airport – Berlin, Germany (IATA: THF, ICAO: EDDI) a.k.a. Berlin Tempelhof (German: Flughafen Tempelhof) is an airport in Berlin, Germany, situated in the south-central borough of Tempelhof-Schöneberg. This airport is commonly known as Tempelhof as well.

Overview

Tempelhof is often called the "City Airport". Tempelhof mostly has commuter flights to other parts of Germany and neighboring countries, since its runway is too small to receive long-haul airliners such as the Boeing 747.

Tempelhof Airport has two parallel runways. Runway 9L/27R has a length of 2094 metres (6870 feet) and Runway 9R/27L has a length of 1840 m (6037 ft). Both runways are paved with asphalt. The taxiway is in the shape of a circle around these two runways, with a single terminal on the north side of the airport.

In 2006, it served 634,538 passengers, however the airport is not profitable. The airport is scheduled for closure in October 2008, and possible other uses for it are being discussed. Many argue that a building of such historical and architectural importance should somehow be preserved.
