Weeze regional airport, which is mainly used by Ryanair, expects around 70.000 passengers during the Easter holidays. With 90 departures a week to 32 destinations, the offer should be back at the level of 2019.
The school holidays in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia begin on April 8, 2022 and last about two weeks. According to Weeze Airport, around 400 take-offs and landings are planned during this period. This should correspond to the level of the Easter holidays in 2019. Managing Director Sebastian Papst: "After two years of the pandemic, the desire to travel among families and single travelers is unbroken. That has already been shown in the last few weeks. The jets to the holiday regions were increasingly busy. Anyone who wants to fly south from Weeze during the Easter holidays should hurry up”.
It is noteworthy, however, that Niederrhein Airport did not mention the ticket seller Green Airlines at all in its most recent media release. The obtrusive pop-up advertising for the Karlsruhe letterbox company's offers has since been removed from the Weeze Airport home page.
The airline Corendon Airlines flies package tour customers of the major tour operators to the holiday region of Antalya twice a week. During the Easter holidays, the airline also flies to Gran Canaria (Spain) and Hurghada (Egypt). However, the Irish airline Ryanair continues to provide the lion's share of the 32 destinations. The focus is on sunny destinations around the Mediterranean Sea and in North Africa, including Cagliari (Italy), Zagreb (Croatia), Malaga (Spain) and Thessaloniki (Greece). It goes to Mallorca every morning and evening.
“In economically challenging times, low-cost airlines are booming. With a wide range of flights and cheap tickets, we are well positioned in Weeze," explains Managing Director Sebastian Papst.
