No. The Soviets instituted the Berlin blockade, so the allies initiated the Berlin airlift to get supplies to civilians inside the blockaded city.
The Berlin Blockade (Airlift) lasted from June 1948 till May 1949. After the end of the blockade the allies continued to airlift essentials into West Berlin to order to have a stockpile, just in case the blockade was renewed (which didn't happen).
The Berlin Airlift was in reaction to the Berlin Blockade. The United States and allies delivered supplies to West Berlin.
The obvious other options were: 1. War between the West and the Soviet Union. 2. A negotiated settlement, which would probably have involved swapping West Berlin for a part of the Soviet Zone, say Thuringia. Neither option was attractive.
