Charleville-Mézières Airport
Charleville-Mézières Airport is an aerodrome in Tournes in the Ardennes region of France that serves small aircraft and helicopters. The main runway extends 1500 meters, features paved surfaces, aircraft parking areas, and fuel stations available around the clock.
The airfield opened in 1923 and began as a military installation. During World War Two, the German air force used it as a pilot training facility before it fell under local control after the war. A concrete runway was added in the late 1960s, which expanded the facility's capabilities and attracted more flying operations.
The airfield is easily accessible by car near the nearby A304 highway and has parking close to main facilities. Pilots can conveniently pay landing fees online using a QR code, which is especially helpful on weekends and outside business hours.
The aerodrome has an agreement with Charleville-Mézières Hospital for medical emergency operations including organ transport and blood deliveries. This makes it a vital hub for life-saving services across the region.
