Airport Information
Frequently Asked Questions
The BLAK team answers the most common questions and covers the essentials for those thinking about flying to and from Berlin.
Which airport do private jets use when flying to Berlin?
Most private jet flights to Berlin operate through Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER), which serves as the primary aviation gateway for the German capital. The airport replaced Berlin’s former Tegel and Schönefeld airports and now handles both commercial airline traffic and business aviation operations. Its long runways and modern infrastructure allow it to accommodate the full range of aircraft used in private jet charter, from light business jets operating across Europe to large long-range aircraft arriving from North America or the Middle East.
Are there night restrictions for private jets flying into Berlin?
Yes. Berlin Brandenburg Airport operates under a strict night curfew between 00:00 and 05:00 local time. During this period regular flight operations are not permitted, with only limited exceptions for emergency or government flights. Additional movement limits also apply between 23:00 and midnight and again between 05:00 and 06:00. Because of these restrictions, private jet flights scheduled late in the evening must be planned carefully to ensure arrival before the curfew begins.
How far is Berlin Brandenburg Airport from the city centre?
Berlin Brandenburg Airport is located approximately 18 kilometres south-east of central Berlin near Schönefeld. Under normal traffic conditions, road transfers to central districts such as Mitte, Potsdamer Platz and the government quarter around the Reichstag typically take between 30 and 40 minutes. Travel times can vary depending on traffic and the final destination within the city, but the airport remains the most practical aviation gateway for visitors arriving in the German capital by private jet.
When is Berlin busiest for private jet traffic?
Private aviation demand in Berlin typically increases during major political gatherings, international trade fairs and large cultural events hosted in the capital. Global technology conferences, government summits and events such as Berlin Fashion Week regularly bring an increase in private aircraft movements. During these periods operators may experience higher demand for airport slots and ground handling services, making early planning advisable for private jet flights to Berlin.
