A Sneak Peek at Berlin's New Airport
Germany's newest airport gets a test run before its June 3 opening.
Berlin, once a city of three airports, will pare down to just one come June.
The brand new Berlin Brandenburg airport (airport code: BER) is scheduled to open on June 3, absorbing all the flights that once traveled to Tegel (TXL), Tempelhof (THF, closed in 2008), and Berlin Schönefeld (SXF) airports. (Brandenburg will actually incorporate Schönefeld's existing southern runway, which will become the new airport's northern runway.)
