History

As a consequence of the temporary closure of the Cazaux Air Base, the civil authorities have been forced to share the runway with the French Air Force since November 2005.

Terminals

Bordeaux Airport features two passenger buildings:

  • Hall A and Hall B are both part of the connected two-storey main building. The arrivals level is located on the ground floor while the check-in and departure areas are on the upper floor.
  • Terminal billi is a designated separate facility for low cost carriers. It only consists of one floor and features small check-in and arrivals areas as well as a departures area equipped with six aircraft parking positions which are used by walk boarding. The main users of Terminal billi are easyJet and Ryanair.

    • Road

    The airport is accessible by car via the A630 autoroute (exit 11b). There is also a shuttle by Jet'Bus shuttle serving the Bordeaux Saint-Jean railway station. Bus route 1+ of Transports Bordeaux Métropole also serves the city centre.

    The Bordeaux tramway system is planned to link the airport with the city centre by the end of 2019.
