Private Jet Charter from Berlin
Berlin's private aviation profile changed the day Tegel closed: every business movement now funnels through the General Aviation Terminal at BER, a 35-minute drive from Mitte. The upside is a modern, single-point operation with full customs; the downside is BER's slot regime and the absence of a true close-in alternative. Most outbound demand is split between government / diplomatic traffic, Berlin's tech and venture cluster around Mitte and Kreuzberg, and inbound entertainment movements tied to Berlinale and the city's growing event calendar.

FAQs — Chartering from Berlin
Is there still any private jet activity at Tegel or Schönefeld old terminal?
No — both are permanently closed to commercial and GA. All business aviation moves through BER's GAT on the south side of the field.
How long does the BER GAT process take from car to engine-start?
Typically 8–12 minutes for Schengen-to-Schengen with no checked bags. Allow 25 minutes for non-Schengen with customs declarations.
Can the GAT handle a Global 7500 or BBJ?
Yes — BER's main runway and the GA apron handle ultra-long-range and BBJ-class aircraft without restriction.
