Berlin-Tegel "Otto Lilienthal" (IATA: TXL, ICAO: EDDT) (often shortened to Tegel) is the main international airport in Berlin, Germany. It lies in Tegel, a section of the northern borough of Reinickendorf. Tegel Airport is notable for its hexagonal terminal building around an open square, which makes for walking distances as short as 30 metres from the aircraft to the terminal exit. Tegel is referred to as the "Frequent Flyer Airport" and has the most scheduled flights of the three airports serving Berlin. In 2007, the airport served over 13,350,000 passengers. The airport is scheduled to close in 2012, six months after the completion of a new terminal complex at Berlin-Schönefeld International Airport, which is to be renamed Berlin-Brandenburg International Airport and slated to handle all commercial flights from and to Berlin thenceforth.[2]
