History
The first airfield in Nurnberg was inaugurated in 1933 in Volkspark Marienberg just north of downtown. This was destroyed during the Second World War.
In 1955, a new airport was constructed a little further north of the former site. It was the first newly built airport since the end of the war in Germany. Only five years later the airport counted a total of 100,000 passengers. In 1961, the runway was extended from 1900 to 2300 meters and then finally in 1967 to a length of 2700 meters. Jumbo jet’s (Boeing 747) were therefore also able to land at Nuremberg.
The site of the airport was further expanded in 1977, with the extension of the apron. The old building was then also replaced by a new terminal with a visitors terrace.
The greatest economic boom took place in the year 1997/98, when the airline Air Berlin took up regular operations in Nuremberg and made the airport a hub of strategic importance along with Berlin-Tegel and Palma de Mallorca. Especially during the winter season, Air Berlin’s international routes, for example to the Canaries and North Africa stopped over at Nuremberg airport.
The new control tower and the direct metro connection to the main station were built in 1999 and 2006. During the 50th anniversary, a new arrival and departure terminals were also completed.
