“Thanks to the ‘Berlin TXL – The Urban Tech Republic’ project, Tegel will be one of the most exciting places in our city in the years to come.

“The site will become one of Berlin’s key innovation hotspots, creating up to 20,000 jobs, with areas for industry, trade, fairs and congresses as well as for science and research.”

TXL supported around 6.5 million take-offs and landings between 1948 and 2020.

Last year, the airport handled more than 24.24 million passengers. However, in April 2020, the figure plummeted to as few as 250 passengers a day due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

Recently, Germany opened Berlin Brandenburg Airport Willy Brandt Airport following a nine-year delay. Last week, the airport became completely operational following the opening of southern runway.
