Yes. Because Stalin wanted to block off Berlin from the USA because they were trying to help them by introducing the Marshall Plan. Therefore, when he set up the Berlin Blockade and America knew that the only way into Berlin was air (if the USA tried to violently enter Berlin any other way this would have been seen as an act of war) they flew over their planes to provide aid (The Marshall Plan) this greatly frustrated Stalin. However, he realised that he couldn't do anything about it and realised the Berlin Blockade was not working so had to re-open connections.
