The Berlin Blockade was supposed to cause the allies to give up western Berlin to the Soviet forces, but instead the allies constantly airlifted supplies past the blockade until it was lifted.
The U.S response to the Soviet blockade was sending srms to Berlin by planes, therefor allowing them to fight back. The United States along with Britain and other countries send food, supplies, etc. They had continued this for about a year.
Allies had to air lift supplies into West Berlin because the USSR had all roads blockaded. The eastern part of the city was under the control of the USSR, and the western region was under the control of the allies. The USSR hoped that by shutting off all routes, the allies would turn total control of Berlin over to them.

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.
No. The Soviets instituted the Berlin blockade, so the allies initiated the Berlin airlift to get supplies to civilians inside the blockaded city.

The Soviets ended the blockade of West Berlin because they realized it was not achieving their goals and was causing international backlash. They also saw that the Western Allies were resolute in their support for West Berlin, making the blockade unsustainable.
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.
