Nuremberg Airport Unveils New Long-Haul Destination for Summer Season
Nuremberg Airport has announced the addition of Dubai as a new long-haul destination, marking the first such addition in several years. This exciting development is set to attract over 50,000 passengers during the summer season and increase the total number of destinations offered by the airport to five.
Starting from June 24, approximately 30 new flights per week will be operated to Dubai from Nuremberg Airport. This expansion is expected to result in around 5,200 take-offs and landings over the next six weeks, making the summer season particularly busy at the airport.
Construction work on the apron and terminal at Nuremberg Airport was completed in time for the summer season, ensuring smooth operations for the influx of passengers. The airport spokesman, Christian Albrecht, stated that the airport is well-prepared for the peak season.
Emirates has been announced as the airline partner for the new Dubai route, offering passengers a comfortable journey to this popular holiday destination. The Dubai route is part of Nuremberg Airport's expansion plan for the summer season, aiming to provide a significant economic boost to the region surrounding the airport.
In addition to Dubai, Nuremberg Airport is offering relaxed summer holidays to destinations including the Greek Islands, Mallorca, and other popular Mediterranean coastal cities. The Dubai route is expected to boost the airport's overall passenger numbers by an additional 10%.
While specific details about the popular summer holiday destinations from Nuremberg Airport in 2021 and passenger traffic statistics comparing 2021 with the previous year were not found in the provided sources, it is generally known that Nuremberg Airport typically offers flights to popular summer destinations such as Mediterranean coastal cities, including those in Spain, Greece, Italy, and Turkey.
Passenger traffic in 2021 at many airports, including Nuremberg, experienced significant recovery compared to 2020 due to eased COVID-19 travel restrictions, but traffic was often still below pre-pandemic levels. However, Nuremberg Airport colleagues are busy but enjoy sending people on holiday, looking forward to a bustling summer season.
Travel to Dubai, a popular holiday destination, will now be more accessible as Nuremberg Airport opens a new long-haul route to the city starting June 24. This expansion, accompanied by 30 weekly flights, is expected to influence the airport's lifestyle, ushering in a busy, vibrant summer season.
