The Berlin Air Safety Centre (BASC) was established by the Allied Control Council's Coordinating Committee on 12 December 1945. It was located in the former Kammergericht Building, on Kleistpark, Berlin. Operations began in February 1946 under quadripartite flight rules Paragraph 4. Paragraph 4 of the rules begins: "The Berlin Air Safety Centre has been established in the Allied Control Authority Building with the object of ensuring safety of flights for all aircraft in the Berlin area. BASC regulates all flying in the Berlin control zone and also in the corridors extending from Berlin to the boundaries of adjacent control zones."

  • Die Luftsicherheitszentrale Berlin, englisch: Berlin Air Safety Center (BASC) war von 1945 bis 1990 eine gemeinsame Behörde der vier alliierten Besatzungsmächte USA, Großbritannien, Frankreich und Sowjetunion in Berlin zur Kontrolle und Überwachung des Flugverkehrs im Raum Berlin. Dies betraf den Luftraum der Viersektorenstadt Berlin und Teile des Luftraums der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik. Die alliierte Luftsicherheitszentrale Berlin war neben dem Kriegsverbrechergefängnis Spandau die einzige in der Zeit des Kalten Krieges von allen vier Mächten gemeinsam betriebe Einrichtung. (de)
  • The Berlin Air Safety Centre (BASC) was established by the Allied Control Council's Coordinating Committee on 12 December 1945. It was located in the former Kammergericht Building, on Kleistpark, Berlin. Operations began in February 1946 under quadripartite flight rules Paragraph 4. Paragraph 4 of the rules begins: "The Berlin Air Safety Centre has been established in the Allied Control Authority Building with the object of ensuring safety of flights for all aircraft in the Berlin area. BASC regulates all flying in the Berlin control zone and also in the corridors extending from Berlin to the boundaries of adjacent control zones." The BASC was one of two four-power organizations to continue functioning following the onset of the Cold War, the other being Spandau Prison, which ceased operations following the death of Rudolf Hess on 17 August 1987. The BASC continued to ensure safety of flight, for 24 hours a day, with the three western powers being represented by a chief controller, along with a deputy and general duty controller; all were Air Force officers. The Soviets, in attempt to mitigate being out numbered, had both a controller and interpreter on duty until its closing on 31 December 1990, following the lapse of Allied responsibilities in Berlin. The BASC coordinated air traffic in and out of Berlin and was responsible for air safety in the three corridors established in 1946 as well as in the Berlin control zone, the airspace within a 20 mi (32 km) radius of a pillar located in the cellar of the Allied Control Authority building. Each of the three corridors were 20 mi (32 km) wide and linked Berlin with the Western Zones of Occupation of Germany (later West Germany). The three corridors were usually open, without restriction, only to the Four Power nations: United Kingdom, United States, France and USSR – other nations wishing to use the corridors had first to request and obtain permission from the BASC. Requests to use the southern corridor were handled by the US desk, the centre corridor by the French desk, and the northern corridor by the UK desk. The requests were then handed to the USSR desk for coordination, with Soviet air defense authorities, and in turn would be stamped in one of three ways: permission granted, safety of flight guaranteed; permission granted, safety of flight not guaranteed; or permission denied. Coordinating closely with the Berlin Air Route Traffic Control Centre (BARTCC) facilities at Tempelhof Air Base, BASC personnel were responsible for logging protests of infringements upon Allied air corridors, and fielded the political ramifications of Eastern Bloc defectors escaping into West Berlin by aircraft. Tensions reached an understandable high during the Berlin Airlift in 1948–49, though the success of the campaign was in large part due to the coordination carried out within the BASC. (en)
  • Il Berlin Air Safety Center (BASC) iniziò ad operare immediatamente dopo la fine della seconda guerra mondiale e fu una delle uniche due organizzazioni delle Quattro Potenze che esistettero durante la Guerra Fredda. Il suo scopo principale era quello di assicurare diplomaticamente la sicurezza del traffico aereo alleato da e verso i settori occidentali di Berlino, dalla minaccia delle difese aeree sovietiche e della Germania Est. Formato nell'estate del 1945, il BASC restò operativo fino alla caduta del Muro di Berlino nel 1989. Situato nell'edificio dell', il BASC era gestito continuamente da rappresentanti militari americani, britannici e francesi assieme a due rappresentanti sovietici; un controllore e un interprete. Questi ufficiali lavorarono in stretta collaborazione, per assicurare la sicurezza degli aerei alleati 24 ore su 24. Coordinandosi strettamente con il controllo del traffico aereo del BARTCC (Berlin Air Route Traffic Control Center) dell'aeroporto di Tempelhof, i rappresentanti del BASC verificavano i nullaosta diplomatici, protestavano contro le invasioni sovietiche degli spazi aerei alleati, e gestivano le ramificazioni politiche delle defezioni di chi riusciva a fuggire a Berlino Ovest dal blocco orientale, con un aereo rubato. Le tensioni raggiunsero un comprensibile picco durante il Ponte aereo per Berlino del 1948-49, anche se il successo della campagna fu dovuto in gran parte al coordinamento svolto all'interno del BASC.
