Former RAF base turned budget travel hub near the Rhine.

Opened
2003
Location
Weeze, Germany
Weeze (Niederrhein) Airport is a regional airport located in Weeze, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, situated near the Dutch border approximately 70 kilometres northwest of Düsseldorf. The airport occupies the former RAF Laarbruch military airbase, which was used by British forces until their departure in the late 1990s. The airport was developed as a low-cost carrier gateway and grew significantly after Ryanair established it as one of its German bases, marketing it to passengers in the broader Rhine-Ruhr and Dutch border region. The airport brands itself as 'Düsseldorf Weeze' for marketing purposes, though it is geographically closer to the city of Kleve. Despite reaching several million passengers annually during its peak years, the airport has faced financial challenges and fluctuating traffic levels, including significant disruption during the COVID-19 pandemic. It remains an important option for budget travellers in the region.
Terminals
The airport operates a single passenger terminal designed to handle low-cost carrier traffic efficiently.
Getting to & from
Bus shuttle services connect Weeze Airport to Düsseldorf, Cologne, and surrounding towns, as the airport lacks a direct rail link.
