History

Nordholz is one of the oldest airports in Germany, dating to 17 December 1912. Construction of the airport installations started a year later and was finished in 1914. Until 2016 it was in military use. For the naval airbase, see Nordholz Naval Airbase.

In order to replace Bremerhaven-Luneort Airport effective February 2016 a new Sea-Airpark Cuxhaven/Nordholz was established with an area of up to more than 40ha / 100 acres for industrial or commercial investments offers direct airfield-access and targets aviation-affine as well as other companies looking for cost-effective and clever solutions. The Sea-Airpark is open for a variety of investment-projects dealing with logistics, industrial production, service-facilities or aircraft maintenance.

In November 2016, German leisure airline Germania announced seasonal flights to Palma de Mallorca beginning in September 2017. The first international commercial flight from Cuxhaven, ST6094 by Germania, took place on 29. September 2017. However, after only one operated service, the route has been forbidden indefinitely by the authorities due to unfulfilled safety regulations by the airport. [3]

Facilities

The airport operates a runway with 2.439m x 45m and two 275m overruns.
