Basically, he blocked all the roads, so Berlin had food, medical supplies and other things flown in to get past them blocking the roads. That's the main part of why it failed because of the planes.

In response to Stalin blocking truck traffic in and out of East Germany, the United States launched the Berlin Airlift. From June 24, 1948, to May 12, 1949, American and British planes flew supplies into West Berlin, bypassing the Soviet blockade. This operation was successful in providing much-needed supplies to the people of West Berlin and demonstrated the commitment of the West to support their allies in the face of Soviet aggression.

Why was an airlift needed in Berlin?
Berlin lay deep inside East Germany in the Russian Sector. The city was divided into the same areas as Germany as a whole: American, British, French, and Russian. The Russians closed the Russian sector borders in Berlin and Germany as a whole. It blocked all road and rail traffic. In order to supply the sections of the city that were not in Russian control, the Berlin Airlift was set up to supply those portions of the city. Food, coal, and other emergency supplies were flown into the airfields at a high enough rate to eventually force the Russians to lift their blockade.
