The Berlin-Schoenefeld International Airport, which is also known by its airport code of SXF, can be found in Schönefeld which is a town in Brandenburg, Germany.

It has one terminal that is comprised of halls A, B, C and D. Most of the airlines that use the airport arrive and depart from the terminal’s Hall A.

You can also reach the SXF airport from the Berlin-Schönefeld Flughafen railway station which is just a short distance away from the terminal. This is Berlin S-Bahn’s terminus for lines S45 and S9.
