About

MeerExpress is a Germany airline that offers scheduled passenger flights. The airline is based at Ruhr Area Airfield and offers flights connecting mainland Germany the German Noth Sea Islands. Currently, the airline flies between three destinations, offering flights from Ruhr Area to Norderney and Juist and back.

The airline flies during the holiday season, operating from March to November. It offers flights on each day of the week, except for Tuesday, with an increased frequency over public holiday periods.

MeerExpress was founded in 2020. It was created to reduce the time it takes to travel between the Ruhr area and the North Sea Islands of Germany. Before MeerExpress offered flights between the islands, the only way to travel between the two destinations was by car and ferry, which would usually take several hours. With flights from MeerExpress, passengers can now travel between the destinations in under one hour. Many locals take vacations in the North Sea Islands and — with MeerExpress — they can now spend more time enjoying their well-deserved breaks and less time travelling.

On top of its regularly scheduled passenger flights, MeerExpress also offers special flights to its passengers. Including sightseeing flights, charter flights to other islands and flights for special occasions, such as birthdays, weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, anniversaries, honeymoons and more.

The airline also offers free parking at the Ruhr Area airport for every person with a MeerExpress flight ticket.
