Stalin cut off rail and road links to Berlin in June 1948 to exert control over the entire city and force the Western Allies to abandon their plans for a separate West German state. In response, America and its allies initiated the Berlin Airlift, supplying West Berlin with food, fuel, and other essentials via air transport to counteract the Soviet blockade. This operation showcased the West's commitment to defending Berlin and resisting Soviet expansion in Europe. Ultimately, the airlift succeeded in sustaining the city until the blockade was lifted in May 1949.

How did Berlin react to the airlift?
The Berlin airlift was seen as an act of defiance by the West against the Soviet Union. After WWII the nation of Germany was divided between the Allies as well as its capital city. Berlin rested well within the Soviet occupation zone, however, which made it impossible for Westerners to reach it by land. Stalin essentially wanted to politically besiege the sections of Berlin that weren't under his control. The American's eventually devised a plan to instead airdrop supplies into their controlled sectors, enabling them to hold out. The Soviets dared not to shoot down the planes or else spark another war. Eventually the "siege" was stopped, but the airlift still continued.
