est. Furthermore, it is required to find co-operation with institutions that render the found solution practicable. 3
Assignment formulation Karsten Fröhlich In order to make THF a profitable airport, proper aviation and non-aviation concepts have to be developed. In the context of this project the past, present and a concept for the future of THF will be documented. Concerning the past of THF it will be formulated what the reasons for building the airport were and who the architect was. Describing its situation before and during World War 2 and in the Cold War will be part of this project in order to answer the question why THF was so modern for its time. Furthermore, the developments up to the 1990s could be considered. As for the present of THF focus should be laid on capacity (like passengers and slots), the recent development of passengers, movement figures and of course why there are plans aiming at closing THF. The question will be raised how well co-operation between the three airports, Schönefeld, Tegel and Tempelhof has been so far. For the future of THF there are two possible scenarios. A co-operation approach and a non-co-operation approach. For the first, on co-operation based, approach it is required to estimate the future demand for the Berlin region and to allocate that demand according to capacity for Schönefeld, Tegel and Tempelhof. Based on the future capacity utilization at Tempelhof it is possible to develop an aviation and a suited non-aviation concept. For the second, on competition based, approach it is required to find customers. That could be for example one or more Low-cost-carrier (LCC) and/or business-jet enterprises like NetJets Inc. or others. For that purpose, special infrastructure has to be built or adjusted. The business/VIP segment possibly needs conference rooms, first class hotels and restaurant and so on. The LCC segment needs fast and cheap ground handling, shopping sites etc. Both segments could be realized parallel at THF, since there is enough space at hand. Whatever scenario will be selected, it is essential to forecast demands in the Berlin region and for Tempelhof. Data has to be gathered according to shortand long-haul, LCC, aircraft size, and freight. In addition, the present capacity at all airports, in slots, passengers and aircraft size, has to be collected. It could be useful to check whether there are other airports in the Berlin region that could possibly compete with THF or the two other Berlin Airports. Furthermore, it is indispensable to analyze whether there is a potential demand for VIP and business related infrastructures in THF and the Berlin region. In addition, the shareholder structure of Berlin's airports will be examined. 4
