Operators at Berlin Tempelhof Airport last month rebuffed a local court recommendation that offered a postponement of closure of the downtown airport. The court on December 21 recommended keeping Tempelhof open until Oct. 31, 2008, one year later than previously planned. But the operators challenging the rejection of their licenses, as they had a right to comment, said they could not accept such a compromise. The final court decision is now delayed, without a schedule.

It is possible that the final decision will keep the airport open to certain limited operations such as business aviation, but, according to German press reports, unlikely. The city of Berlin and the federal government fear this would weaken the case for constructing the new Berlin Brandenburg International Airport, which is being built on the site of the existing Schoenefeld Airport.
