Limoges Airport, also known as Limoges-Bellegarde, serves the city of Limoges in the Haute-Vienne department of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. It is a controlled aerodrome with a full-length hard runway equipped with an ILS, supplemented by a shorter parallel grass strip, and handles a mix of scheduled airline traffic and general aviation movements.
Limoges Airport, officially Limoges-Bellegarde, is a regional airport serving the city of Limoges and the wider Haute-Vienne department. It combines scheduled airline services, run by carriers such as Ryanair, Volotea and Chalair Aviation to destinations including Paris Orly, Lyon, London Stansted, East Midlands and Rome, with general aviation activity on its grass parallel runway. For a visiting VFR pilot it offers a full suite of ATC services and an ILS-equipped main runway, making it a straightforward but properly controlled field to plan a visit to.
