A vast open space almost the size of New York's Central Park, complete with one of the world's biggest buildings, might be a sought-after asset in the heart of any other metropolis. But in Berlin, a city where space is plentiful and property cheap by European standards, the huge Tempelhof airport with its imposing terminal threatens to pose a problem for city authorities when it is closed to air traffic next year. No one seems to know what to do with the giant, outdated site which holds a special place in Berliners' hearts: it was here that Allied Dakotas and Skymasters landed every few minutes in 1948 and 1949 to supply the city during the Soviet blockade. The question of what to do with Tempelhof when the few flights it still deals with are redirected next year ahead of the opening of a new city airport is complicated by its historical and architectural significance.

BAA is keen to remind everyone that it is on budget and on time. Perhaps the most impressive feature is the sheer size of the place 1210 ft x 557 ft, that is 50 soccer pitches.
