How many airports are in Berlin Germany?

Berlin Brandenburg Airport Since 2020, it has been the only airport in Berlin. Shortly after the reunification of Germany, it was decided that Berlin should have a central airport. Berlin Brandenburg Airport was thus to replace the existing airports in Tempelhof, Tegel and Schönefeld.



Since late 2020 and continuing through 2026, Berlin is served by only one active commercial airport: Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER), also known as "Willy Brandt." This massive, centralized hub was designed to replace all three of the city's historic airports: Tegel (TXL), Schönefeld (SXF), and the legendary Tempelhof (THF). While there is only one airport, it is divided into distinct terminal areas that can feel like separate facilities. Terminals 1 and 2 are the main modern structures, while Terminal 5 is actually the renovated and repurposed old Schönefeld terminal (though T5 has faced various periods of closure and reopening based on demand). Historic airports like Tegel have been permanently closed and are being redeveloped into "The Urban Tech Republic" and residential districts. Tempelhof remains a massive public park (Tempelhofer Feld) and event space with no commercial flights. For any traveler flying into the German capital in 2026, BER is the only choice, and the primary logistics concern is whether your airline uses the main T1/T2 complex or the more distant T5, as they are not within walking distance of each other and require a short train or bus transfer.
