Airport Weeze or Niederrhein Airport (IATA: NRN, ICAO: EDLV) is an airport situated in the small municipality of Weeze in the Niederrhein (Lower Rhineland) of western Germany. It is about 30 kilometres (19 mi) southeast of Nijmegen, Netherlands and 50 km (31 mi) northwest of Düsseldorf. It stands on the site of the former military airbase RAF Laarbruch, and began operations as a civil airport in 2003.
Weeze Airport is used only by low-cost carriers, mainly Ryanair. Its IATA-Code is “NRN” because of its former name Flughafen Niederrhein.
The airport has undergone several name changes. The operators originally wanted to name it after the city of Düsseldorf, but the significant distance from that city, which already had three established international airports closer to it (Düsseldorf International, Düsseldorf-Mönchengladbach and Cologne Bonn), resulted in the name being blocked by a court decision which ruled that naming the airport after Düsseldorf was likely to mislead passengers. However, airlines which use the airport, particularly Ryanair, refer to it as Düsseldorf (Weeze).
The airport serves the Weeze area, and there is no direct public transport to Düsseldorf.
