After World War II (WWII), Berlin was divided into four zones each with its own airport. A four-power agreement between Great Britain, France, the United States and Russia, signed in Nov 1945, established three air corridors radiating Westward from East Berlin to five West German cities, and assigned Tempelhof Airport to the United States with the requirement that they provide an airline with aircraft of U.S. registry and whose pilots held American passports. American Overseas Airlines (AOA) fulfilled this responsibility beginning in 1946, and when AOA merged with Pan Am in 1950, Pan Am took over the responsibility.
