January 13, 2009 by Henk Bekker in Cheap Flights, Düsseldorf, Germany

Airport Weeze (NRN) is a small regional airport 70 km to the northeast of Düsseldorf. It is close to the Dutch border and around 30 km from Nijmegen in the Netherlands. It is often advertised as an alternative airport to Flughafen Düsseldorf (DUS) but low-cost airline travelers should note that Weeze Airport is rather inconvenient for travelers to Düsseldorf and many other Ruhr cities. Suntransfers provides online quotations for transfers to any destination in Germany and the Netherlands.

  • Low-cost airline Ryanair is by far the largest operator at Airport Weeze (NRN). Ryanair insist on referring to Weeze as “Düsseldorf (Weeze)” but may use that name only in advertisement in Germany if the words “ca. 70 km from Düsseldorf” are displayed prominently.
