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 exclusively in military use.
In order to replace Bremerhaven-Luneort Airport effective February 2016, a new airpark was established with an area of 40 hectares (99 acres) for industrial or commercial investments, offering direct airfield-access. The Sea-Airpark Cuxhaven/Nordholz is open for 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.
