About General Aviation Terminal Nuremberg
The General Aviation Terminal at Nuremberg Airport is located just 5 kilometers from the city center, making it one of the most conveniently positioned GATs in Germany for reaching a major urban destination. The terminal offers a lounge with TV and WLAN, along with services including hotel reservations, limousine service, rental car bookings, and taxi ordering. Transport between the airport hotel and the GAT terminal is also available. The facility handles both arriving and departing business aviation traffic, with aircraft parking available on outdoor positions or in hangar space (registration required for hangar use). Vehicle parking for passengers is available in designated areas adjacent to the terminal. Operating hours run Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM and weekends and holidays from 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM, so passengers with flights outside these windows should confirm arrangements in advance. Nuremberg Airport is Bavaria's second-busiest airport after Munich and handles a mix of commercial and general aviation traffic. For charter passengers, Nuremberg provides efficient access to northern Bavaria's major cities including Nuremberg, Erlangen, and Furth, as well as the broader Franconia region. The city is a significant industrial and technology center, with major employers in automotive, electrical engineering, and consumer goods. The short distance from the GAT to the city center means you can be at a downtown hotel or meeting within 15 minutes of clearing the terminal. The Nuremberg metropolitan area has a population of about 3.5 million, making the city an important business destination in southern Germany.
