Toulouse Airport Guide

Toulouse Airport

Toulouse Airport is a large modern airport in the southwest of France.

If you are heading skiing in the Pyrénées or south to the Med, chances are you'll do so via Toulouse Airport. Toulouse Airport is just 6 km (4 miles) west northwest of the city of Toulouse.

Aéroport de Toulouse - Blagnac to give it its correct name is also well known as the base for Airbus and ATR, who assemble aircraft at the airport. If you want to see plenty of A380 super-jumbo, instead of Heathrow or CDG, Toulouse is the best bet: as a result the airport caters well for plane spotters.

If you have time to kill at the airport, don't miss the historic aircraft displays, including Air France Concorde F-BVFC.
