Nuremburg to the UK

The fascinating historical Bavarian city of Nuremburg sited on the Rhine-Danube canal is to lose its Gatwick route straight into the New Year but gains a twice daily London City operation.

Air Berlin will drop its daily service from 7 January to be effectively replaced on Sunday 27 January by CityJet from the East London airport with a service that operates twice daily Monday to Friday, with an outbound from Nuremburg on Saturday morning returning Sunday evening.

The new route increases CityJet’s network to 20 European destinations across Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the UK.

Says Christine Ourmières, CEO, CityJet: “Nuremberg is a key business hub in Europe given its position as the capital of Germany’s industrial heartland.  It is the head office location for many of Germany’s multi-nationals such as Siemens, Puma and Adidas and it plays host to several international trade fairs.  Taking its business and leisure credentials together, it was a clear cut decision for CityJet to launch a new year-round service to Nuremberg, further extending our network into Germany, following the launch of Münster – Osnabrück this Monday 29 October”.  www.cityjet.com
