  Tegel International Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tegel International Airport "Otto Lilienthal" (IATA: TXL, ICAO: EDDT) (often shortened to Tegel) is an airport in Berlin, Germany.
Tegel will then be closed about six months after operations begin at BBI (planned for 2011) and all flights will move to the newly expanded and renamed Berlin-Brandenburg International Airport.
Tegel Airport is notable for its hexagonal terminal building around an open square, which makes for walking distances as short as 100 ft. from any airplane, through luggage and customs, to taxi or bus.
