Marabu Airlines has launched a new seasonal flight service from Nuremberg to Kavala in northern Greece. Starting August 1, 2025, the route will operate twice weekly, Mondays and Fridays, directly from Nuremberg's Albrecht Dürer Airport. The inaugural flight was celebrated with a ceremony attended by Nuremberg's mayor, Marcus König, and Kavala's deputy mayor, Apostolos Moumtsakis. The new route is important not only for holidaymakers, but also for Nuremberg's Greek community. After those with Turkish roots, Greek citizens represent the second largest international ethnic group in the Franconian metropolis. A significant portion of the approximately 15.000 people of Greek descent in Nuremberg come from the Kavala region. The new flight service now offers them an additional opportunity to visit family and friends back home. The city partnership between Nuremberg and Kavala, established in 1999, celebrated its 25th anniversary just last year, and the new connection is intended to further deepen the exchange between the two cities. Dr. Michael Hupe, Airport Managing Director, emphasized that Kavala, an attractive destination, would be included in the summer program. At the same time, cooperation with Marabu Airlines will be intensified, as the airline operates its own base with two permanently stationed aircraft at Nuremberg Airport. Paul Fabian, COO of Marabu Airlines, emphasized the importance of the partnership with Nuremberg, explaining that the new connection not only creates an attractive holiday destination but also an important bridge between the two partner cities. Marabu Airlines, a sister company of Condor, offers a total of twelve direct destinations from Nuremberg in its summer flight schedule.
