Nuremberg Airport is celebrating its 70th anniversary and looks back on a development from a small takeoff and landing strip to a major transport hub. Despite this growth, the airport has retained its clarity, service, and regional charm.
The airport's history began in the 1950s, when the city of Nuremberg and the Free State of Bavaria pushed ahead with its post-war reconstruction. On April 6, 1955, the first passenger aircraft, a Lufthansa Convair 340, landed with Federal Transport Minister Hans-Christoph Seebohm on board. Over the decades, the airport continued to develop. The runway was extended, new terminals were built, and public transport connections were improved.
Today, Nuremberg Airport is an important location for the region, offering connections to around 65 non-stop destinations. To mark its 70th anniversary, the airport is hosting a grand celebration where visitors will have the opportunity to experience the fascination of aviation firsthand.
