Weeze Airport is used only by low-cost bearers, principally Ryanair. Its IATA-Code is “NRN” because of its former name Flughafen Niederrhein.
The airport has undergone several name modifies. The operators originally desired to name it after the town of Düsseldorf, but the eminent distance to that town, which already had 3 closer international airports (Düsseldorf International, Düsseldorf-Mönchengladbach and Cologne/Bonn), ensued in the name being block up by a tribunal patterning that it was likely to lead astray riders. However, air hose which use the airport, especially Ryanair, still name to it as 'Düsseldorf (Weeze)'.
