The second most important airport in Bavaria is located in the city of Nuremberg. Until the spring of last year, the airport was the main hub for Air Berlin. The airport in Nuremberg is located about 5 kilometers from the city of the same name.
Nuremberg Airport was built in 1955 and was the first airport built after World War II. 6 years after the construction, the airport was reconstructed for the first time, the runway was increased. After reconstruction, its length was 2300 meters. And the airport underwent the first major reconstruction in the late 70s - early 80s: a new terminal was built, and the apron was expanded.
In the 90s, 2 additional floors were added to the building of one of the terminals. And in the 2000s, the airport opened its own metro station. This fact greatly influenced the increase in the airport's passenger turnover.
Today the airport is one of the 10 largest airports in the country, serving more than three million passengers annually.
In the near future, it is planned to increase the runway to 3,500 meters.
