Goodbye Tegel Berlin Tegel, the capital city airport with limited space will close forever, despite the fun it brought for both pilots and controllers. After years of planing , the construction of Berlin's new airport BER comes close to an end. The time has come to say goodbye to Tegel. Of course, the RG Berlin wants to say farewell to their beloved major airport. We invite everyone who feels the same to accompany us on June 1, 2012 from 16.00 until 22.00 UTC. Lets enjoy the last departures and landings on Berlin's Otto-Lilienthal airport. Don't fear to be wistful: While the airport will close in the night of June 2, the chapter of civil aviation in Tegel is closed and a piece of Berlin's aviation history has finally come to an end. Though that's how life is. Sometimes the past isn't as interesting as the future. It will be difficult to let go of such a special place as Tegel. Nevertheless, the new airport BER, will write its own stories. The first one being it's opening Event on June 3 and hopefully much traffic in the following days. We will see what the future has for us, and are definitely looking forward to our new airport! We thank Tegel and everyone who has visited this beautiful place. It was a wonderful time which we will never forget. Having said this, goodbye Tegel !

Welcome BER “Make one out of three!” That’s the slogan for this event, because few years ago it was decided that Germany’s capital Berlin needs a modern and efficient new airport to replace the old and historically important airfields Berlin-Tegel(EDDT), Berlin-Schönefeld(EDDB) and Berlin-Tempelhof(EDDI). On June 3rd 2012 the wait is over! We are delighted to invite you to the grand opening of the “Berlin Brandenburg Airport” (EDDB/BER)! It is also named after the former Berlin mayor and chancellor of Germany Willy Brandt. You’ll get the unique possibility to experience this brand new major airport on day one of its operations. The opening of an important airport is also a premiere in VATSIM’s history. Become part of this historic moment, because otherwise what do you want to tell your grandchildren if they ask you one day why you have not? There is a lot of work for us to be done by then, to get all the charts and procedures ready. A freeware scenery is already available on AVSIM. We are looking forward to your visit and a great opening event!
