history

Opening day, April 6, 1955

In 1933 the first Nuremberg airport was inaugurated at Marienberg (today Volkspark Marienberg ); previously, the now defunct Fürth-Atzenhof airfield served as a connection. In 1943 the Marienberg airport was destroyed. After the Second World War , the American occupying forces used the Great Street of the former Nazi party rally grounds as a runway. From 1950 to the completion of today's airport in 1955, the Fürth industrial airport , the former works airport of Bachmann von Blumenthal & Co. KG, served as a temporary solution.

On April 6, 1955, the airport opened at its current location. It was the first airport built in Germany since the end of the Second World War. In 1960, more than 100,000 passengers per year were welcomed at Nuremberg Airport for the first time. In 1961, the runway was initially extended from 1900 to 2300 meters, and in 1968 it was extended to its current length of 2700 meters. The requirement for the first landing of a Boeing 747 on July 12, 1970 was thus met. The event attracted 20,000 onlookers back then.

First landing of a Boeing 747

In 1977 the main apron was expanded, and in 1981 a new passenger terminal with a large visitor terrace and restaurant replaced the building that had been in use until then. On July 19, 1986, the Concorde landed in Nuremberg in front of 32,000 onlookers. The million mark in the number of passengers was exceeded for the first time in December 1986.

Aerial view, mid-eighties

In 1984, the Nürnberger Flugdienst (NFD) based at Nuremberg Airport received its official approval as the second German scheduled airline. The airline was founded by the textile entrepreneur Hans-Rudolf Wöhrl .

The Cargo Center Nuremberg (CCN) was opened in 1987. This was designed for a volume of 33,000 tons of freight.

In the winter of 1997/98, the hub of the German airline Air Berlin began regular operations in Nuremberg. After Palma de Mallorca, Nuremberg Airport was Air Berlin's second most important tourist transfer airport. In the winter months from November to April in particular, the airline bundled a large part of the passenger flows from Germany to destinations in North Africa and the Canary Islands via Nuremberg. At peak times, up to 21 Air Berlin aircraft were in use at the Nuremberg hub at the same time. In 1999 a new control tower was put into operation and the extension of subway line 2 to the airport opened.

The west and north expansion of departure hall 2 took place in 2002. One year later the CCN 2 Cargo Center was inaugurated after a year and a half of construction with 6500 m² of storage space and 4600 m² of office space. In 2005, the 50th anniversary of Nuremberg Airport was celebrated with around 45,000 visitors. In 2006 a new arrival and departure terminal (Transfer Control Terminal) with a floor area of ​​8500 m² and a new main access to the apron (Gate 1) were completed. In the same year, the new fully automatic baggage sorting system goes into operation. The airport has been voted "Best German Airport for Business Travelers in Germany" by the readers of the Business Traveler magazine every year since 2008. In terms of the quality of the service, Nuremberg Airport also took first place in a comparison among German airports in a study commissioned by the news channel n-tv . The airport won thanks to good parking facilities and the friendliest e-mail response. In 2008, the renaturation of the Buch land moat was also completed.

From 1997 to April 2013, the airport was one of Air Berlin's hubs .

At the end of July 2014, the Free State and City shareholders announced that they would make an additional 70 million euros available to the airport. The funds are to be used to redeem loans early. In 2015, both shareholders want to make a capital increase of 20 million euros each. A further 30 million euros are planned as a loan.

Since December 5, 2014, the airport has been called Albrecht Dürer Airport Nuremberg . The idea for the renaming came from the municipal cultural advisor Julia Lehner . The renaming is financed by the Free State with half a million euros.

In 2018, the airport received the World Routes Marketing Award for the second year in a row for its Blue Ocean marketing campaign in Guangzhou .

capacity

Apron situation at Nuremberg Airport

With 4.46 million passengers (as of 2018) and more than 8,000 tonnes of air cargo handled, Nuremberg Airport is one of the medium-sized German commercial airports. In 2018 there were 66,074 aircraft movements. The current capacity of the buildings and facilities is estimated at around five million annual passengers.

Start-and runway

CRJ700 starts in Nuremberg

The airport has a runway with a length of 2700 meters and 45 meters wide. Aircraft movements (take-offs and landings) of all common commercial aircraft, including large jets (e.g. Boeing 747), can take place via the runway. Nuremberg Airport is not certified for aircraft according to ICAO Code F (wingspan greater than 65 m, e.g. Airbus A380 ). However, a Boeing 747-8F that falls under this category has already flown to Nuremberg several times with a special permit.

Terminal building

For the passenger area there is a terminal with two departure halls and an arrival area. The air freight is handled in the Cargo Center Nuremberg (CCN).

terminal

The expansion of the existing passenger terminal (departure hall 2) was inaugurated on April 30, 1992 and was originally designed for a capacity of 2.8 million passengers per year. The current capacity of the entire terminal facility is around 5 million passengers per year. There are a total of six parking positions close to the building, five of them with passenger boarding bridges, of which only four are currently in operation. In addition, there are three positions for “low-cost airlines” such as Ryanair and Wizz Air in the immediate vicinity of the terminal with walking access via the gates and stairwells. All other parking positions require boarding with apron buses.

Daylight dominates the transparent glass and steel construction by the Nuremberg architects Grabow and Hoffmann. On May 2, 1992, the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” wrote on the occasion of the opening: “A new arrival hall and the 17-year-old reception hall were converted into a new, light-flooded check-in hall in just under three years of construction. [...] the result of the makeover is a completely new terminal for Franconia's gateway to the world, which can be considered the most modern in the German airport landscape ”. Flughafen Nürnberg GmbH bore the construction costs of around 100 million marks. Three modern passenger boarding bridges as well as the extension of the apron were included in the construction costs. Two passenger boarding bridges were added later.

On January 25, 2007, the so-called TCT (Transfer Control Terminal) was inaugurated the last major new section of the terminal. The new building was made necessary by a new regulation of the European Union (2320/2002), which stipulates for airports that arriving passengers from so-called "non-EU countries" are completely checked before their onward journey to the EU and not checked themselves beforehand Passengers are allowed to mix.

In December 2015, the main security check was relocated to a newly built area between Departure Hall 1 and Departure Hall 2 after the devices had become too heavy for the previous location on the upper floor. The so-called travel world can now be found on the vacated area on the upper floor of departure hall 2. The opening took place in December 2017. There are now 19 consulting islands and 17 offices of tourism providers on 2000 m².

Cargo Center

In 1987 the first new cargo terminal Cargo Center Nürnberg (CCN) was put into operation. The capacity was initially designed for a freight volume of 33,000 tons per year. With the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, Nuremberg regained its historical central position in Central Europe. As a result, Nuremberg Airport gained increasing national importance in air freight in the 1990s. In addition to the central location in Central Europe, the economic structure of the Nuremberg metropolitan area is an important component of this great upswing in air freight at Nuremberg Airport. The region is characterized by technologically efficient industrial companies with a strikingly high export share with a quota of currently over 40%. The dominant branches of industry are electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, medical and automation technology.

The region around Nuremberg is one of the leading locations in Germany in this area. Another location factor for air freight at Nuremberg Airport is the booming inland port freight transport center Hafen Nürnberg-Roth as the most modern freight transport center in southern Germany with trimodal loading options for the transport modes rail, road and water as well as excellent transport links (motorway connection) to the airport's freight center. Another decisive advantage is that there is no night flight ban at the airport. Free slot resources in air freight allow flexible flight assignments at any time of the day or night. Due to these positive developments in air freight, the freight terminal was expanded with the Cargo Center II (CCN II) in 2003. The functional new building cost around 7 million euros. The structure was designed according to the specific requirements of the local freight companies. An additional 6500 m² of space could be used for the expanding cargo area.

This means that there is a total of around 14,000 m² of storage space and 7,000 m² of office space available for freight. However, the last air cargo throughput was less than 8,000 tons in 2016. In 2004, however, due to the nationwide reorganization of airmail transport with the beginning of the summer flight schedule, airmail service was completely discontinued. Up until it was discontinued, around 548 tons of airmail were transported annually. The CCN is operated by Flughafen Gesellschaft Nürnberg GmbH and is largely rented out to forwarding agents.

Tower

Landmark of Nuremberg Airport

The silhouette of the tower is an architectural landmark of the airport. In 1995 the supervisory board decided to replace the old tower from the beginning, only 18 meters high. It was no longer high enough due to newly constructed buildings. The design by the team of architects Behnisch and Partner prevailed in a limited architectural competition in 1990. The new 48 meter high tower can be seen from afar. Directly below the glass viewing platform, the air traffic control technology, valued at around 17 million marks at the time, is housed in a closed cuboid. In total, the project cost around 30 million marks. The original draft had to be revised, as the space requirement was reduced by moving the approach control to the Langen radar center near Frankfurt. In November 1998, air traffic controllers of the German Air Traffic Control (DFS) moved into the tower and the glass office wing on the ground.

Parking areas

The car park P3 at Nuremberg Airport

The airport has a total of more than 9,000 parking spaces. Some of these parking spaces are equipped with charging stations for electric cars . In addition to three parking garages, there are several open parking spaces in the immediate vicinity of the terminal.

In October 2007, the P3 multi-storey car park , which cost around 18 million euros and has over 2200 parking spaces, was completed south of the existing P1 car park. The building was designed by the Nuremberg architects Baum-Kappler. The construction costs amounted to around EUR 16.8 million. The parking garage is intended to create a harmonious transition between the airport world and the surrounding Knoblauchsland.

In 2019, the construction of a new parking garage in the direction of the access road began. In total, more than 10,000 parking spaces should be available in the future.

The individual parking areas have a different tariff structure. This is seasonal and depends on the location. The parking spaces can be booked online.

Airlines

Several scheduled airlines operate to and from Nuremberg Airport to domestic and European destinations. Long-haul intercontinental flights are also offered. In addition to European destinations, charter flights also take place to the Canary Islands, Egypt and Israel. For a long time Air Berlin was the most important airline in Nuremberg, but in the course of the restructuring these flights were initially heavily reduced and discontinued when the airline became insolvent; in 2017, Ryanair , Germania and others expanded their presence. After SunExpress, both Ryanair and Germania have established a base in Nuremberg and have aircraft permanently stationed there. Eurowings is the fourth airline to set up a base in Nuremberg and station an aircraft there. After the bankruptcy of Germania in early 2019, the airport succeeded in acquiring a TuiFly aircraft stationed in Nuremberg as an at least partial replacement for the last three Germania aircraft based in Nuremberg. Corendon plans to station two aircraft in Nuremberg for the 2020 summer flight schedule. Corendon already stationed a Boeing 737-800 in Nuremberg for the 2019/2020 winter flight schedule . Ryanair announced at the end of 2019 that it would close its base in Nuremberg at the beginning of the 2020 summer flight schedule and withdraw the two stationed aircraft.

Promotion of air traffic

In order to promote air traffic growth, Flughafen Nürnberg GmbH awarded eight airlines with bonuses between 2014 and 2018. The expenses for this were increased significantly. In 2014, the eight airlines still split 602,000 euros. In 2017 it was almost four million euros, in 2018 it was 4.748 million euros.

environment

In 2001 the airport administration founded its own environment department, which oversees all environmentally relevant activities and tasks such as waste management, biotope management, energy, water protection and the prevention of bird strikes. Dialogue with the neighbors of the airport as well as a constructive discussion of their environmentally relevant issues are also part of the area of ​​responsibility.

landscape

Renatured Bucher Landgraben at Nuremberg Airport

The renaturation of the Bucher Landgraben immediately adjacent to Nuremberg Airport began in February 2001 as an ecological compensation measure as part of the development plan. The construction work for this measure comprised the relocation of the old land ditch in a natural meandering stream course, rain retention basin, several viewing platforms and bridge structures. To model the landscape, mounds of earth were piled up to the left and right of the trench. The renaturation of the entire course of the stream on the airport site cost a total of around 3.3 million euros. The geographic extent of the project is around two kilometers from the rain retention basin in the adjoining district of Ziegelstein in the east to the transition to the “old ditch” west of Irrhainstrasse. The renatured green zone today offers an urban separation between the high-tech location Nuremberg Airport and the arable land in the southern Knoblauchsland. The 14 hectare green zone today has important water management and ecological functions in addition to urban planning. Open rain retention basins absorb the rainwater discharged from the airport. Around 3000 trees and bushes were planted. Bike and footpaths were newly laid out in the green zone.

noise

An important topic in the area of ​​the environment, especially for residents, is noise pollution and noise protection. The airport says it is making great efforts to keep noise emissions as low as possible. The mean continuous sound level in 2004 averaged a constant 49 dB (A). In the airport's immission _report for January 2013, an energy- _equivalent continuous sound level (L _eq3 ) between 45.5 and 60.4 dB (A) was measured at eight measuring points in the surrounding settlement areas during the day , while the values ​​at night between 36.5 and 53, 4 dB (A). The reference level at night, which is exceeded by 1% of the maximum level of all measured noise events, was 73 dB (A) for Boxdorf , 77 dB (A) for Buchenbühl and Behringersdorf and 85 dB (A) for Buch-West . With effect from October 1, 2014, two day protection zones (L _{Aeq day} = 68 dB (A) and 63 dB (A)) and a night _{protection zone} (L _{Aeq night} = 55 dB (A), L _Amax = 6 times 57 dB ( A)) (§ 1 FluLärmV).

air

As early as the second year after the new environmental department was established, bio-monitoring was successfully used at Nuremberg Airport to supplement the classic “vegetable report”. Biomonitoring is a modern, efficient process in which organisms are used to determine pollutants and their distribution. In Nuremberg, honey, wax and pollen from three bee colonies are now analyzed annually. The colonies, each with around 15,000 bees, covered an area around the airport of around three kilometers. The samples are examined by experts for environmental and contaminated site analysis from Orga Lab GmbH from Zirndorf. In addition, the samples are analyzed by the Bavarian State Institute for Viticulture and Horticulture in accordance with the Honey Ordinance. The analysis spectrum for honey and pollen includes organic air pollutants, which are typically traffic-related. In addition, the heavy metal load is determined. So far, only low concentrations of the selected pollutants have been found in the samples. All honey samples were also classified as "unrestrictedly fit for human consumption" in terms of their metal and organic content. So far, all of the findings have clearly fallen below the legal limit values. Most of the hydrocarbons in honey were even below the limit of quantification. After the positive experience in Nuremberg, six German airports are now using the biomonitoring process. In the evaluation of the eight most important heavy metals, Nuremberg achieved the lowest values ​​without exception.

safety

police

The area of ​​responsibility of the Nuremberg Airport Police Inspection extends to the inside and outside area of ​​the airport grounds as well as Flughafenstrasse from the roundabout in the entire airport area including the two Cargo Centers I and II - and exit controls and the issuance of emergency travel documents. A total of 115 baggage theft and pickpockets were registered at the airport in 2009.

fire Department

Airport fire brigade on the apron

With its team and equipment, the Nuremberg Airport Fire Brigade meets the requirements of the ICAO and those of the government of Middle Franconia . All security measures in the area of ​​fire protection and fire fighting are coordinated and controlled by the operations center. The headquarters are manned around the clock by a total of two fire fighters. The shift changes every four hours. The most important facility is a fire alarm system, which is connected to around 1,600 fire alarms as well as 13 sub-centers and 600 push-button alarms. In addition, direct telephone lines lead to the Nuremberg fire brigade, the rescue center, the police operations center, the control tower, the traffic department, the security center and the airport police station. In addition to the organizational structure of the fire brigade at Nuremberg Airport, a daily exercise program guarantees that the last vehicle is on the way to the scene of the incident just 30 seconds after the alarm is triggered and that the scene of the accident is reached within three minutes at the latest. According to the airport fire brigade, this also applies to the most remote corners of the airport premises with 24-hour standby.

The fire brigade has a fire simulation system with which it can simulate 20 fireplaces in an aircraft replica. Training and education programs are also carried out on real aircraft, for example on the Bundeswehr's Eurofighter .

Expansion and infrastructure

In autumn 2005 the apron was extended near the tower. The main apron received additional parking positions for four medium-haul aircraft.

Planned motorway connection

A direct connection to the A3 motorway , the so -called northern airport connection , has been planned for a long time. A route with tunneling under the runway is preferred; the regional planning procedure has been completed. The plan approval procedure was accompanied by protests from local residents.

The project is expected to cost 52 million euros. The aim is to relieve the residents of the previous access through the Ziegelstein district . In addition, the reason given for the construction of the motorway connection is that Nuremberg Airport can only remain competitive if it is expanded. The motorway connection should be a further step towards internationalization.

The alliance “No to the northern connection of the airport!” Criticizes the fact that the Sebalder Reichswald , which is protected as a spell forest , is being cut up and doubts the profitability of the project, as the only access via Flughafenstrasse in 2003 was rather underutilized at 35.5%. The Bund Naturschutz also doubts that the accessibility of Nuremberg Airport needs to be improved. In a press release dated January 29, 2010, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry for Middle Franconia points to the need for a motorway connection to Nuremberg Airport. On 3 February 2010, the Nuremberg City Council at the request of the SPD adopted a realization moratorium until 2013. The government of Central Franconia issued the zoning approval for the northern connection with the condition 15 February 2012, initially a pre-load of the airport area by polyfluorinated surfactants to renovate. These remedial measures to remove the pollution of the groundwater on the airport premises began in 2015. The completion of the groundwater purification is expected in 2028.

• On December 20, 1953, a Vickers Viking 1B from Eagle Aviation ( aircraft registration G-AHPO ) was recorded as a total loss after a landing accident on an icy runway at Nuremberg Airport. The three-person crew of the cargo flight survived.

• On February 18, 1961, a Douglas DC-7CF (N745PA) of Pan Am collided with a pile of earth in front of and next to the runway while approaching Stuttgart Airport . The pilots of the cargo plane coming from Frankfurt continued the approach in thick fog with a visibility of 100 meters and a cloud height of 30 meters, even below the decision height of 200 feet, although the instrument landing system did not function reliably and 4 of 5 elements of the approach lighting were out of order . When it collided with the mound of earth, the landing gear and engine No. 3 (inside right) were torn off. Nevertheless, the pilots managed to take off and land on a foam carpet at Nuremberg Airport . The three-man crew remained uninjured, but the aircraft was irreparably damaged.

• On May 6, 1974, a Douglas DC-6 A of the Icelandic Freight Flight (TF-OAE) brushed some trees about 4 km from the runway and fell on its back. A possible reason was icing; In addition, during the autopsy of the captain, a blood alcohol concentration was found between 1.2 and 2.5 per thousand. All three crew members of the cargo flight coming from Nice were killed.
