A plane landing at Berlin's Tegel airport. Many air travellers were stuck at the yet unopened Berlin-Brandenburg Airport (BER) due to the defusing of a Second World War bomb on Tuesday evening at Tegel Airport in the north of the city. During the three-hour bomb disposal operation no planes were permitted to land at Tegel airport, the capital’s main international airport. Two dozen airplanes were redirected from Tegel to Schönefeld Airport, a spokesman said on Wednesday morning. Planes then took off from BER for a very short flight to Tegel, where passengers were finally able to disembark.
