BBI (new to build airport at Schönefeld) will be at opening already at a saturation level. What will then be happening with the GAT space available?
Tempelhof would be the solution.
But according a courts decision this does not matter.
We Germans have a heavily disturbed relation to our own history!

My "flying roots" started at Tempelhof, when, a young kid, I observed the traffic from a fence from outside and made the decision to become a pilot.
I was born during the Airbridge to Tempelhof. My parents made clear, that my well being as a baby was only assured by landing support aircraft at Tempelhof!
Nowadays, flying as a pax on Props to Tempelhof, I still see the spot where I watched DC-4 and DC-3 taking off and landing.
Unfortunately I never had the chance to land any aircraft at Tempelhof.
For me the closing is a terrible issue.
