"We had to take in 24 planes in a short time frame because of the Tegel suspension," said airport spokesman Daniel Tolksdorf on Wednesday.
"The planes were in holding patterns and came in like on a chain of pearls on a necklace. Every parking space had to be put to use."
Passengers were forced to remain seated outside the unfinished Berlin-Brandenburg Airport for long periods of time due to an insufficient number of stairs and buses to remove guests from the parked planes.
Flights at Tegel, in the north-west of Berlin, were suspended for about three hours Tuesday evening due to the deactivation of a World War II bomb in a nearby Berlin district.

Hundreds of flight passengers were redirected to an unfinished airport in the south of Berlin when the controlled deactivation of a World War II bomb prevented their aeroplanes from landing at the city's Tegel Airport.
