About Bremen Airport

Bremen Airport (BRE) is located in the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen, in the Neustadt district, around 3.5 kilometres south of the city centre. Opened to civil air traffic in 1913, it is operated by Flughafen Bremen GmbH and serves as a compact, efficient gateway for Bremen and the wider northwest Germany region, supporting business travel, tourism, logistics and regional connectivity.

The airport has a practical terminal structure for both domestic flights and international flights, with passenger handling areas, check-in facilities, security controls, shops, restaurants, car parks and direct public transport links. With annual passenger volumes typically around the low single-digit millions, Bremen Airport offers capacity suited to a regional city airport, while traffic increases noticeably during the summer and holiday seasons as leisure routes and Mediterranean services become more prominent.

Airlines operating from Bremen Airport include Lufthansa, KLM, Ryanair, Turkish Airlines, SunExpress, Eurowings, Pegasus, Austrian Airlines and SWISS, depending on the season. Key direct destinations include German hubs such as Frankfurt and Munich, as well as international routes to Amsterdam, Istanbul, Vienna, Zurich, London, Palma de Mallorca, Antalya and other leisure markets. Demand is driven by business travellers, visiting friends and relatives, city breaks and holidaymakers comparing convenient regional departures and flight tickets from northwest Germany.
