Berlin airport may close in 2008
Berlin’s Tempelhof International Airport will likely close in October of 2008 now that the city court rejected 13 companies’ efforts to keep the facility open. There are plans to build a new international airport on the eastern edge of the city – Tempelhof is located in the inner city.
The airport has historic significance – when Berlin was divided into east and west during World War II, supplies and food for the Allies were brought in through Tempelhof.
