Tempelhof was an international airport in Berlin, it was closed on October 30th 2008. Tempelhof mostly had commuter flights to other parts of Germany and neighbouring countries.

Tempelhof Airport had two parallel runways. Runway 9L/27R had a length of 2094 metres (6870 feet) and Runway 9R/27L had a length of 1840 m (6037 ft). Both runways were paved with asphalt. The taxiway was 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, largely due to the costs and insufficient profitable use of the considerable real-estate, the airport was not profitable. The airport was closed 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.
