WEEZE AIRPORT ASSISTANCE

History of Weeze International Airport

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 Düsseldorf, but the significant distance of 83 km (52 mi) to that city, which already had two closer international airports (Düsseldorf 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.

However, Ryanair still refers to it as "Düsseldorf-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 Düsseldorf. 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 its bankruptcy in 2004. During this time, passenger numbers doubled from 200,000 to 400,000 within a year. In February 2014, Ryanair announced the cancellation of 18 routes from Weeze for the 2014 summer season, citing a lack of aircraft. In 2019, the airport faced severe financial difficulties due to a 30 percent fall in passenger numbers over the previous year as a result of the cancellation of several Ryanair routes.
