Tegal Airport For Closure Now

Yes, absolutely, 100-percent set for closure, with a date of 15 June.  The Berlin airport which opened in 1948.....will finally shutdown.

N-TV covered the announcement this morning.

Part of this story reflects the number of flights cancelled and no longer operating out of Berlin, because of the virus.

The curious thing about this is that Tegal was the number four airport in Germany for passengers (at least up until the virus came along).

What continues on now?  Minimum flights out of Schonefeld (again because of the virus deal), and the opening of BER later in the fall.

As for the future of the grounds of Tegal?

A developmental project called Urban Tech Republic is one part of it.....with a minimum of 600 companies talked about.  Also part of this....the Beuth University of Applied Sciences Berlin is supposed to be developing of this as well.

If you go and envision where this is going in the next fifteen years....I'd say that it'll be some type of 'Silicon Valley'. 

On the far NW side of Berlin....it's about 10 km from the heart of downtown.  Close enough for the recreational or night-time activities.....far enough out to be disconnected from most of the city.
