Tempelhof Airport had one very last landing after it was officially closed, private pilot (coming from TXL btw) stalled and had to do an emergency ditch on a closed runway with people on it.
Most user friendly airport I ever passed through. From check in to gate in just a few minutes. Marvellous and so sad to see it closed. Always have loved Berlin as a city and it was the only airport I ever used,through British Airways.
Indeed. The hexagon shape was genius. It doesn't matter wich way you walked, you always reached your plane, you could walk a circle. RIP my beloved TXL😢, I grew up with you. Another piece of West Berlin identity was taken from us by force.
TXL was the first international airport I ever flew to, Air Berlin A330 was the first international flight I ever took. I had a 3 hour layover, I walked out of TXL to the petrol station next to the Burger King and had my first beer outside of USA. RIP TXL.
It‘s a bit emotional. I really enjoyed this airport. There was a nice atmosphere, specially in terminals A and B. The cool thing about this airport was also its location near downtown. Good bye Otto-Lilienthal Tegel Au revoir Base Aérienne 165
I never been there and i don't know how it looks like to be when the airport will shutdown forever ... but last announcement for boarding it gave me chills. And i think if you become the last passenger to entrance the gate that will be unforgettable moments. 😎😎😎
hey has anyone noticed that, since the airport closed in 2020 and air france was also the first to fly to tegel in 1960, and East Germany reunified in 1990, that means that air france spent half their time at tegel with east germany being a thing and half there time in unified gemany!
It must have been a particularly memorable occasion for Air France. Before 1989 they had the rights to operate German domestic flights into Tegel, which was in the French sector of Berlin. Over the years they probably operated nearly as many flights into Berlin as Lufthansa have since taking over the domestic routes.
Only been to tegel once and that was only last year and im glad I got the chance to experience the airport! The layout is certainly one of the most efficient and unique experiences i've come across and honestly made boarding flights so much more quicker from the fact that you could get from check-in straigt to your gate right after you clear security! Simplicity at its finest. I didnt even know about the importance of this airport either which definitely makes it even more special. Farewell and thank you to a great airport Berlin Tegel airport! #DankeTXL
I was there to see this flight, it was extremely emotional environment many people were crying, the hub of closedown air Berlin ex crewmen came in full duty uniforms and airport staff , the Berlin police gave salute with helicopters, you need to be a true Berliner to feel this airport , build in just 90 days mostly by women as most of men died in ww2 , it has a great historical importance, I feel luck i came with one of last flight just last month from this airport #danketxl
Hasta siempre aeropuerto Berlin-Tegel. Cumplida tu mision,un merecido descanso. Gracias x q a muchos muchos nos abriste las puertas del gran berlin. Nos recibiste con señorio y un dia a mi me viste partir. En mis recuerdos estaras imponente como en tus mejores epocas. Gracias Tegel.
very cute and touching video, especially when all the airport staff came out to see off the last flight. The end of Tegel's history, probably yes, but this is only the beginning of something new and this story is just beginning ...
Still very good I remember this historic- and very last take-off from TXL. Almost two days long the German TV-channel "RBB" broadcasted live from different locations in- and around TXL. From the very rich, highly interesting history and several milestones- and curious anecdotes at TXL. Of course the highlight was the live broadcasting of this very last AF A320-200 take-off in TXL. It,s hardly to believe allready today this was happened almost 4 years ago.
I am having typhoid......... And its diwali time here in India, everyone is celebrating but I am bound to bed for 14 days......... But dude I have been bingewatching your videos to reduce my frustation and pass the time Thanks
What if you had pre-booked this flight before the handover to BER was confirmed and had no idea yours was the sunset flight for the whole airport? I'm sure at least one passenger simply needed to get to France. 🙃
Brandenburg will be a new and shiny airport with many facilities but will it ever be as historic as Tegel, knowing what role it played for West Berliners?
Tegel was a very nice airport. It looks like a small airport but it Berlins most used airport. i don't understand why its fully closed. Couldn't they used it as a general aviation airport for private jets etc?
@@mstrmren it was very close to the city as well, so there were environmental concerns, the area around was noisy as well bc of the airplanes. But ye, since BER opened, TXL had to close because there are only enough personnel for 1 airport
11:27 that's the only time I will allow clapping on a plane - when it's the last flight of something (whether it's an airline's final flight, an airport's final flight or an aircraft types final flight)
I loved Berlin-Tegel airport and the building it sits in and now this era ends . I can't describe how sad I am especially with all the history it holds. it was an old airport but still did the job very well and was coinvent for the city. #DankeTXL. This airport will truly be missed especially for the role it played in bringing Germany back to one . It's just devastating that's its coming to an end. Can you make a video at the new Brandenburg airport in the near future? Must have been very special to go on the last ever flight from TXL
Sebastian Brandenburg is not the same as Berlin. It is a different state. Tegel was in Berlin. BER is in Brandenburg. Just as Hertha is from Berlin and Union is from Köpenick.
For us in former (West) Berlin you were our connection to the free world. I was a little boy when you was opened in 1974. Many times I traveled from you and discovered the world. You were closed for political and ideological reasons against the will of the population (also called dictatorship). Good bye TXL 😢, you was the best Airport ever! I miss you and I hate the new BER.

Don’t worry I will reopen Berlin Tegel airport in google map if I can
Weirdly emotional - considering I’ve never been there.
Same here, but the feeling of loss is something all humans understand
Same here, I often felt like this whenever I'm seeing a final flight/airport closing video, like kai tak's closing or sq 747 last flight...
Bro why this airport is closed
@@biggbossmalayalam4786 they got a new airport called Berlin Brandenburg Intl
@@AlicrocMS but why a new airport is built when tegel is there
Goodbye Tegel, you gave an incredibly great service to over 300K+ planes and billions of people.
Incredibly great service.......yeah right.
12:10 camera guy recording the last passengers. Maybe you will be in a documentary on TXLs final flight!
Yeah...considering that felix never showed himself unlike David 🤣🤣
@@castlegaming3812 He did show himself once in one video with david but I dont remeber which video
It's sad that the last months of the airport, they were almost zero flight due to Corona virus.
Bad timing for sure.
And no Air Berlin either, the most fitting airline to close Tegel and to open BER, sigh.
and no Pan Am or Air Berlin, 2 airlines iconic in TXL
Imagine if an Emergency occurred and the plane had to go back to TXL.
It would have flown to EDDB I think
@@Phs1997 Yes, that was the alternate
I want it to happen lol
Tempelhof Airport had one very last landing after it was officially closed, private pilot (coming from TXL btw) stalled and had to do an emergency ditch on a closed runway with people on it.
It's very sad to see the history slowly fading. In 2008 the tempelhof airport closed and now the tegel airport closed.
I knew tempelhof airport from formula e
And now schönefeld closed definitely
Most user friendly airport I ever passed through.
From check in to gate in just a few minutes.
Marvellous and so sad to see it closed.

1960-2020
This airport will never be forgotten.
Also, will you be planning to make a tripreport from berlin's new airport, bradenburg airport?
I wonder the same!
Ikr
Obviously
Sure at one point in the future. ;)
TXL was the first international airport I ever flew to, Air Berlin A330 was the first international flight I ever took. I had a 3 hour layover, I walked out of TXL to the petrol station next to the Burger King and had my first beer outside of USA. RIP TXL.
this upload makes me cry remembering this airport will be closed forever 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Great video!
As a German it’s sad to see Tegel is gone now. But we’ll see how good the BER performs! 😊
BER perfoms good? Do we live in parallel universe?
Very sad this airport closed...

And to think I was supposed to be on one of the last flights out of Tegel. In 2011 :D
Beautiful video.
What if you had pre-booked this flight before the handover to BER was confirmed and had no idea yours was the sunset flight for the whole airport? I'm sure at least one passenger simply needed to get to France. 🙃
Ha! I thought the exact same thing. Imagine if you just want to go home to Paris and end up being on that flight and have no clue what's going on!
Amazing report mate! It was a pleasure to meet you at TXL!!!
Rip this airport
@SEBASTIAN PAEZ YANES true
U like wizz air and wow air and Ryanair
I like. Ryanair and wizz air and wowair
Brandenburg will be a new and shiny airport with many facilities but will it ever be as historic as Tegel, knowing what role it played for West Berliners?
I remember terminal C & D for their hasty assembly, they reminds me of a sports complex
And there goes by a piece of history...
Thank you TXL! 🙏🏼
Great video guys! End of an era for sure.
Tegel was a very nice airport. It looks like a small airport but it Berlins most used airport.
i don't understand why its fully closed. Couldn't they used it as a general aviation airport for private jets etc?
Well they have other Airports for General Aviation. The purpose of the new Airport was to Only have one Airport! Thats why!
Maybe it was too costly to run? Idk but that's my guess
Since they now have two main airports instead of one

Un tesoro el video, el último vuelo que salió del mítico Tegel. Excelente
That's a very good farewell video to the TXL airport👍👍👍👍👍👍.... Loved it much ❤️❤️❤️
Imagine this is your first time on an airplane
Wow, a double water cannon salute. Thats a first for me.❤
That’s a lot of press and regular folks watching your flight taxi out. Another great upload as usual!
It was actually shown live on tv
@@KaterChris Cool! May that airport RIP.
I’ve never been out of Newfoundland but it’s sad to see an airport go, despite the fact I never really knew what it was, and I guess I never will
The food looked very high quality. Tyacha simply aviation and air France
I felt bad after Tegel Closes but still Danke TXL. Berlin Brandeburg is the only airport remaining TBH.
RIP TXL. WE ALL LOVE YOU😭😭😢😥❤❤❤❤
Love your videos keep up the good work love from Jordan
I felt emotional 😭 although I’ve never been there.
It is so important video for aviation history of course, but not only for last flight of tegel, view in 10:35 is very dramatic too and scared me.
Always doing a good video.. good job lad ❤️👏🏻
Tegel was the first airport I flew into when I traveled to Germany in 2019. Also it was my first trip outside of North America.
For Eurofurence? Same.
Felix, du hast es geschafft die Momente sehr emotional und schön zusammenzufasssen. Danke!
A very sad flight report. It’s such a shame to see TXL now closed. We knew it was expected, but i had hoped it might survive another few years. ✈️
Hi Felix. Great video as always. I have just figured out that this flight was on my birthday. Keep up the great work. Bye

Sad that last flight is there means no more Berlin airport😢
No, the new Berlin Brandenburg Airport is in operation

Its sad how berlin Tegel airport is closing down #DankeTXL
I got tears in my eyes while seeing it.
But some seconds later, realized that I was yawning.
Berlin New airport is opened
Schönes Video, auch wenn etwas Wehmut dabei ist.
Habt ihr schon Flüge von/nach BER in der Planung?
❤️❤️ Air France 👏👏👏👏🙌🙌
Idk if it's just me but that music makes me feel more sad...
The Taxi around Tegel is like waving a Checkered Flag, signaling that something is ending...
Excellent video, greetins from Mexico
@Simply Aviation great video but the music was too high and disruptive
You guys seem to try to film some final flights. How about flying first 737 MAX in europe after return to service? :D
