The Berlin Blockade ended in May 1949 primarily due to the failure of the Soviet Union to achieve its goal of forcing the Western Allies to abandon West Berlin. The successful Berlin Airlift demonstrated the resolve and logistical capabilities of the Allies, ensuring that West Berlin remained supplied and operational. Additionally, internal pressures within the Soviet Union and shifts in international relations contributed to the decision to lift the blockade, allowing for a more stable post-war Europe.
in 1949
The Soviets ended the blockade of West Berlin in 1949 because they realized it was not achieving their goal of forcing the Western Allies out of the city. The blockade had led to the Berlin Airlift, where the Allies supplied West Berlin by air, showing the Soviets that their blockade was ineffective.

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).
which blockade? Berlin blockade? if you mean the Berlin blockade... no- the Russians got bored and called it off because they couldn't stop the allies from flying supplies over the blocked roads and railways.
The two western powers flew supplies over the blockade into West Berlin. This act is commonly called the BERLIN AIRLIFT. The Soviet Union revered policy after a year when the Soviets ended the blockade and pemited land-transport of goods to West Berlin.
The Western powers airlifted supplies to Berlin, until the Soviets ended the blockade in 1949.
