In August, Albrecht Dürer Airport Nuremberg recorded the busiest month since the pandemic began. But even after the summer holidays, there is still a wide range of options.
These are the late summer destinations from Nuremberg: Egypt (hurghada), Greece (Thessaloniki, Corfu, Kos, Heraklion and Chania on Crete, Rhodes), Italy (Sardines and Sicily; Bologna from the end of October), Spain (Mallorca, Barcelona, Alicante, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Tenerife), Turkey (Antalya, Izmir).
Over 200.000 passengers used Nuremberg Airport for their trips in August. Significantly more than in the previous year, but still 55 percent less than in August 2019 and thus before the pandemic. Even after the main season, passengers can choose from up to 40 non-stop destinations from Nuremberg. In particular, the demand for Mallorca and the Canary Islands is increasing significantly, as Spain is no longer a high-risk area and the quarantine requirement is no longer applicable (even for those who have not been vaccinated), according to the airport. Mallorca is served several times a day by Eurowings, Corendon and Ryanair, the Canary Islands several times a week with Corendon and Smart Lynx (Tui).
The high-risk warning applies to Turkey and some Greek islands, but there are no restrictions for those who have been proven to be vaccinated or have recovered.
