Weeze NRN Airport Overview

Weeze Airport NRN -or 'Niederrhein (Lower Rhine) Airport' - is one of Europe’s fastest-growing Airports, and serves not only the northern part of the state of Nordrhein-Westfalen, including the Weeze area and the city of Duisburg, but also the Dutch cities of Veo, Nijmegen and Arnhem, due to its close proximity to the Dutch border. The Airport started operation in 2003, using the former military airbase RAF Laarbruch. Seven years later Airport Weeze greeted its 10 millionth passenger!

The Airport is located at the Airport Ring road (Flughafen-Ring), 3.7 km southwest of the town of Weeze, 30 miles northwest of the city of Duisburg, and only  7 km northwest of The Netherlands' city of Kevelaer and 33 km of Nijmegen. To get to the Airport by car, you can get there (a) from A57 Cologne-Dusseldorf (follow sign to Weez Airport); (b) from Ruhrgebiet via A40, A42, on A57 towards Nimwegen, use Ueden/Weez exit, then follow sign; (c) from the Netherlands take A67 via Venlo on A73 & A77 unto A57 and exit for Goch/Weeze; then follow sign.

With a long runway and an estimated to 2.2 million passengers in 2012, Weeze Airport is served mostly by low-cost airline Ryanair which offers countless destinations throughout Europe, and by Wizz .  Some charter companies offer seasonal lights to popular vacation destinations. 

NOTE: Passengers are urged to arrive at the Airport 2 hours prior to their scheduled departure.
