Marabu Airlines will launch a new direct connection between Nuremberg's Albrecht Dürer Airport and the northern Greek port city of Kavala from August 1, 2024. The connection will be offered twice a week - Mondays and Fridays. This strengthens the 25-year-old town twinning between Nuremberg and Kavala and is aimed in particular at the approximately 15.000 Nuremberg residents with Greek roots.
Dr. Michael Hupe, Managing Director of Nuremberg Airport, emphasized the expansion of the route network as an important step for the metropolitan region. The airline, a sister company of Condor, opened a base in Nuremberg in November 2023 and is stationing two aircraft there. In the summer, a total of twelve destinations will be served from Nuremberg.
Mayor Marcus König sees the new route as an opportunity to deepen the economic and cultural relations between the cities. Kavala is considered an attractive destination for tourists and locals alike, with its historic old town, beaches close to the city and as a starting point for trips through northern Greece. The announcement was made at an industry event at Nuremberg Airport, which was also attended by Axel Schefe, CEO of Marabu Airlines.
