Nuremberg Airport

Back in the 1960s, there were over 100.000 passengers, when they decided to make the runway much longer than it was at the time. They predict that this number of people will only be longer.

The runway 10/20 is long 2,700 by 45 meters wide. Control tower center merges with Nuremberg’s metro station in 1999. That way passengers can get to the center of the city in the fastest way. In 2002 the departure hall was extended and not long after that, the storage place was extended too and now it is 4.600 square meters.

To this day it is enough, but due to common and widely used, it may widen again in the near future. This airport can handle 39 planes at one time. All of them can be parked here, and it still will be places for other airplanes.
In 2009 was added 8.500 square meters of sorting luggage space was added to the airport, fully automated for sorting all kinds of luggage from all parts of the world.

After making the runway longer and wider, here now can take off and land all types of plains even cargo plains and the Boeing 747 which is one of the larger plains in the world. On the other hand, this airport still doesn’t have a license for plains like Airbus A380. Every year the number of people that come here is getting bigger so the runway was gradually renovated along with taxiways that were added in 2009. Along with that there was added drainage from rain, electrical cables made safer, and the fire-path made for safe emergency exit.

At the airport, they have 40 desks, where everyone will be more than glad to help the passenger with whatever they need. Having over 5 million passengers during the year, this airport is ready for everything. Passengers terminal had just one but with the number of people which is decreasing, the city had to make the other terminal.

Then was made those 40 check-ins desk for a large number of passengers.
That is why the U-Bahn or the metro comes through here and goes to the center of Nuremberg every 10 minutes. If you want to rent a car, there is only 5 km that will get you to the center of the city. Bus number 30 is also the option and the other number 33, that will lead you straight to the city, without circling around the whole town.

Cargo Center Nuremberg was added in 1987. It was necessary to make Cargo Center after the crush of the Soviet Union when the Nuremberg airport was once again made the center of Europe for landing a large number of flights for the people as well as for the cargo airplanes. With that in mind over 150.000 companies use this airport for economic reasons. But the economy is not the only reason why companies choose to land here. The city of Nuremberg had the best-organized junction near the airport to the railway and land traffic and highways. With more than 40 percent is approximately export that goes through this part of Germany.

With that number of flights, they had to make Cargo Center II. Now there are 13.317 square meters of space for the storage of all kinds of goods and services. Also, there is 7.000 square meter of office spaces and the absolute record was 2010 when there was 107.123 tons of cargo.
The Control Tower of this airport is 48 meters high. That change was needed because the old tower was only 18 meters high.
Being seen from far away this airport is also one of the landmarks of the city of Nuremberg. Great in architecture, the Nuremberg airport is best seen when the airplane takes out in the sky.
