Airport guide

Nuremberg Airport handles both scheduled commercial traffic and business aviation from a single runway (10/28). The airport operates a dedicated general aviation area with FBO services, hangars, and handling agents separate from the commercial terminal. Customs clearance is available on-site, making it practical for international charter arrivals.

Nuremberg is a Level 2 coordinated airport, meaning slots are requested in advance for commercial operations, though general aviation scheduling is more flexible. Night flight restrictions apply from 22:00 to 06:00 local time, which affects late arrivals and early departures. If your itinerary requires operations outside those hours, confirm with your handling agent well in advance.

Getting there

The airport sits 5 km north of Nuremberg's Altstadt (old city center), a 15-minute drive in normal traffic. Taxis queue outside the terminal and car hire desks are in the arrivals hall. The U-Bahn U2 line runs directly from the airport to the city center in about 12 minutes and connects to Nuremberg Hauptbahnhof, where high-speed ICE trains reach Munich in about 1 hour and Frankfurt in roughly 2 hours. For passengers heading to Erlangen, the drive is about 15 km north and takes under 20 minutes.
