Initially, on the site of the Berlin Schönefeld International Airport, there were aircraft manufacturers engaged in the production of civilian and military aircraft, however, with the advent of World War II, almost all infrastructure was destroyed.

In 1946, the Soviet Union advocated the start of the construction of a civil airport, which could effectively serve both domestic and international flights. Thanks to a qualified approach, the first scheduled flights to Berlin Schönefeld Airport started already in 1947 year.

 In 1969, the passenger traffic at Berlin Schönefeld International Airport rose to 1 million per year, and after another 20 years, this figure rose to 3 million per year, although the air harbor still could not work efficiently.

Nevertheless, due to the fact that the expansion of the international air harbor is not possible, the German authorities decided to close the airport with the commissioning of the Berlin Brandenburg International Airport, which is expected by the year of 2020.
