Weeze Airport: small but growing and popular
Weeze Airport is a compact airport with short walking distances and a single, clearly laid-out terminal. At the same time, passenger numbers have been growing for years.
It is expected that Weeze Airport will handle more than 2 million passengers in 2025. This makes the airport increasingly popular, particularly among Dutch travellers.
Important reasons:
- Located just across the border, easily accessible from the Netherlands
- Often competitive ticket prices
- A well-organised airport without long distances
This growth means that, despite the small scale, it remains wise to plan sufficient time.
Your arrival time also depends on your parking space
Where you park at Weeze Airport directly affects how much extra time you need. With Park & Fly, you can park at P1, P2 or P3. These car parks vary in distance from the terminal.
P1
- Closest to the terminal
- Suitable for travellers with lots of luggage or disabled travellers
- Ideal if you want to walk as little as possible
- Walking distance: ± 1-3 minutes
P2
- Good balance between price and distance
- Slightly further from the terminal than P1, but still within walking distance.
- Walking distance: ± 5-7 minutes
P3
- Often the cheapest parking spot
- It is furthest from the terminal and therefore requires a bit more planning.
- Walking distance: ± 8-12 minutes
Tip: Always factor in walking distance when determining your arrival time, especially if you are travelling with children or have a lot of luggage.
