Co-operation partner

Heinz Nixdorf energetically promoted Paderborn as a business location. He believed that a commercial airport was an indispensable part of this role. Without his commitment, the airport would not have been able to write its decades-long success story. For this reason, the words “Heinz Nixdorf” were added to the name of Paderborn-Lippstadt Airport on 19 September 2024.

The HNF and the SC Paderborn 07 football club share a passion for and commitment to the region. In the anniversary season, the HNF is represented in the stadium with extensive perimeter advertising. Fans can also expect a special surprise in April.
