«Goodbye, TXL»: With the farewell weeks in October Berlin says goodbye to the airport Berlin-Tegel "Otto Lilienthal".

The last flight from Tegel Airport (TXL) will take off on November 8, 2020 at 3 pm. In view of the closure of the airport, Berliners will be given the opportunity to say a fitting farewell to their beloved airport despite the Corona pandemic. Airport Chairman Engelbert Lütke Daldrup commented: "Tegel has done Berlin a great service. It is therefore important to us - despite the restrictions imposed by the Corona pandemic - to give everyone who wants the opportunity to say thank you and say goodbye". Due to the corona situation, however, there will be no big farewell party for TXL Airport.
