I think the second option ("Does he work at Berlin airport?") sounds more natural than the other one, but it would be great if any native speaker can confirm it. |

Actually, I think the most natural sounding is "Does he work at the Berlin airport?"

But Bruce - you wouldn �t say - does he work at the LAX or at the Los Angeles Airport - I �d say He works at LAX or he works at Los Angeles Airport.

But LB, I definitely would say he works at the Los Angeles Airport. I agree that I would �nt say "at the LAX", which indicates that it �s the word "airport" that brings "the". Maybe I �m just different.
