The Spanish airline Vueling, which has already been connecting Nuremberg with Barcelona for years, is launching another route from Nuremberg from 2 November. Three times a week it will fly to Paris-Orly Airport, which is located in the south of the metropolis of 12 million inhabitants. With this, Vueling supplements the offer of the already existing hub connection to Charles-de-Gaulle Airport, which is served by Air France up to twice a day.

Nuremberg Airport recorded its busiest travel month in August since the beginning of the pandemic. But even after the summer holidays, a wide range of flights remains on offer. September and October are the ideal time to travel, for example, for those who don't travel with school-age children.

The cargo business at Nuremberg Airport is developing largely unaffected by the pandemic. In some segments, even growth has been recorded, making a third cargo center for various freight forwarders and their service providers necessary. A letter of intent has now been signed by Dr. Michael Hupe, Managing Director of Nuremberg Airport, and Soheyl Rahmani, Managing Director of CHI NUE Cargo Handling GmbH, future key tenant in the planned Cargo Center 3.

By taking over the former Lufthansa lounges, Nuremberg Airport can once again offer a relaxed and comfortable waiting area to business and status travelers of selected airlines.

Bella Italia also in the winter half-year possible: From 31 October, Ryanair is starting a new direct flight connection to Bologna in Italy. Flights will take place on Thursdays and Sundays, making a weekend trip possible.

The popularity of Albrecht Dürer Airport Nürnberg is down to combination of a consistently high level of customer satisfaction and customers’ appreciation of what the airport stands for. Business travellers in particular appreciate USPs such as short walking distances and premium services. 

The winter flight schedule is bringing three new nonstop connections to Nuremberg: After a brief interruption, passengers will again be able fly to Nuremberg from Tel Aviv from November. Flights from Athens are also back on the schedule. Both connections are now operated by Ryanair. After a five-year break, direct flights from Scandinavia to Nuremberg are available again. From autumn, Ryanair will operate flights from the Danish capital, Copenhagen. Other new connections are in preparation.

The previous record of 4.27 million was set in 2008. The group's turnover is now well over €100 million and the annual net profit is also at an all-time high of over €4.1 million.
