It is used by Ryanair. The airport is situated 3.7\u00a0km (2.3\u00a0mi) southwest[2] of the municipality of Weeze (German pronunciation: [\u02c8ve\u02d0t\u0361s\u0259]) and 7\u00a0km (4.3\u00a0mi) northwest[2] of Kevelaer, about 33\u00a0km (21\u00a0mi) southeast of the Dutch city of Nijmegen, and 48\u00a0km (30\u00a0mi) northwest of the German city of Duisburg. Between 2008 and 2013, this was one of Germany’s fastest-growing airports; however, the airport handled only 1.23 million passengers in 2019, reflecting a decline in throughput triggered by Ryanair reducing its route network.[3]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsHistory[edit]Facilities[edit]Airlines and destinations[edit]Statistics[edit]Ground transportation[edit]Coach[edit]Train[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]History[edit]The airport uses the facilities of the former military airbase RAF Laarbruch, and began operating as a civil airport in 2003. There is also a large fire department training facility on the airport grounds. Its IATA code is NRN because of its official name Flughafen Niederrhein. The airport has had several different names in its history as a civil airport. The operators originally wanted to name it after the city of D\u00fcsseldorf, but the significant distance of 83\u00a0km (52\u00a0mi) to that city, which already had two closer international airports (D\u00fcsseldorf Airport as well as Cologne Bonn Airport), resulted in the name being blocked by a court ruling that such a description would be likely to mislead passengers.[4] However, Ryanair still refers to it as “D\u00fcsseldorf-Weeze”. The airport is actually closer to the Dutch cities of Venlo, Nijmegen and Arnhem, the German cities of Duisburg and Essen, and the immediate Weeze area than D\u00fcsseldorf.Weeze was served by the short-lived, Dutch low-cost carrier V Bird, which opened a base here and operated flights to Berlin, Munich and several international destinations, from its inception in 2003 until bankruptcy in 2004. During this time, passenger numbers doubled from 200,000 to 400,000 within a year.[5] In February 2014, Ryanair announced the cancellation of 18 routes from Weeze for the 2014 summer season citing a lack of aircraft.[6]In 2019, the airport faced severe financial difficulties due to a fall in passenger numbers by 30 percent over the previous year as a result of the cancellation of several Ryanair routes.[7]Facilities[edit]Weeze Airport has one passenger terminal building with restaurants, shops, and check-in facilities. The apron, which is to the west of the terminal building, features nine aircraft stands for mid-sized aircraft such as the Boeing 737-800. As there are no jet bridges due to the location of the apron to the west side of the terminal building instead in front of it, bus-boarding is used for six stands. Only three stands are close enough to the terminal to be accessed on foot.Airlines and destinations[edit]The following airlines operate regular scheduled and seasonal flights at Weeze Airport:[8]AirlinesDestinationsAir Arabia  F\u00e8s Freebird Airlines  Seasonal charter: Antalya (begins 25 July 2023),[9]Bodrum (begins 25 July 2023)[9] Ryanair  Agadir, Alicante, Asturias,[10]Bari, Copenhagen, Faro, F\u00e8s, M\u00e1laga, Marrakesh, Nador, Palma de Mallorca, Rabat, Tangier, Thessaloniki, Zagreb Seasonal: Ancona, Bergamo, B\u00e9ziers, Cagliari, Castell\u00f3n, Chania, Corfu, Edinburgh, Fuerteventura, Girona, Ibiza, Lanzarote, Oujda, Pescara, Porto, Pula, Reus, Rhodes, Seville (resumes 2 June 2023),[11]Tenerife\u2013South, Trapani, Zadar Sky Express  Seasonal charter: Heraklion (begins 13 May 2023),[12]Kos (begins 23 April 2023),[12]Rhodes (begins 22 April 2023),[12]Zakynthos (begins 27 April 2023)[12] Tailwind Airlines  Seasonal charter: Antalya (begins 14 April 2023)[9]Statistics[edit]    Passengers20081,523,9902009 2,402,0832010 2,896,7302011 2,421,1082012 2,208,4292013 2,487,8432014 1,807,5432015 1,909,7042016 1,854,108[13]2017 1,885,811[14]2018 1,700,7112019 1,231,100[3]2020 299,7112021 587,4782022 1,030,000[15]Source: ADV[16]Ground transportation[edit]Coach[edit]Direct buses serve D\u00fcsseldorf Main Station up to 7 times a day; the journey taking 1h 15min.
