Airport, seaport and connections in Nuremberg
Nuremberg Airport (NUE) is a regional airport with air cargo mainly on passenger flights and trucked services, which makes it a convenient hand-over point for Franconian shippers. For long-haul belly capacity, freight is usually routed to Munich (MUC), and for main-deck freighters to Frankfurt (FRA). Sea freight moves via Hamburg or Bremerhaven, and the bayernhafen Nürnberg on the Main-Danube Canal offers a trimodal inland port with rail and barge connections.
Nuremberg lies at the crossing of the A3 (Frankfurt, Regensburg), A6 (Heilbronn, Czech Republic), A9 (Munich, Berlin) and A73 (Bamberg). The bayernhafen Nürnberg combines a port on the Main-Danube Canal, a combined-transport rail terminal and a freight village, linking Franconia with the North Sea ports and the Danube.

Do Nuremberg shipments fly from NUE, Munich or Frankfurt?

Can you ship medical devices from Erlangen by air?
Yes. We book airlines and routings suited to the device, agree packaging and handling instructions with the shipper, and issue our own air waybill. For very urgent replacement parts, an On-Board Courier can hand-carry the item to the hospital or service location.
Do you collect in Erlangen, Fürth and Herzogenaurach?
Yes. We arrange pick-up across the Nuremberg metropolitan region, including Erlangen, Fürth, Herzogenaurach and Schwabach, through trusted road partners and deliver to the chosen departure airport.

No. We work directly with the airlines and issue our own air waybills, and we do not use local agents.
