Carcassonne Salvaza Airport lies in the Aude department of Occitanie, about two nautical miles west of the historic city of Carcassonne. It combines scheduled and charter commercial traffic with general aviation and flight training, offering a long hard-surfaced runway alongside a shorter grass strip.
Carcassonne Salvaza Airport (ICAO: LFMK, IATA: CCF) serves the city of Carcassonne and the wider southern Languedoc area from a site in the Aude department of Occitanie, France. It handles a mix of scheduled and charter commercial flights alongside private and general aviation movements, and hosts a campus of the Ecole nationale de l'aviation civile, giving it a steady flow of training traffic that makes it an interesting field for visiting VFR pilots.
The airport sits in the Aude department of Occitanie, roughly three kilometres (about two nautical miles) west of Carcassonne itself. Approach control in the area is provided by Toulouse.
Carcassonne offers two parallel physical runways. The main runway, 09/27, is a hard-surfaced strip roughly 6,383 feet long and lit, aligned almost due east-west. Alongside it runs a second, grass runway, 09L/27R, about 2,589 feet long and unlit. There is no ILS at the airport.
Traffic in the Carcassonne area is worked by Toulouse Approach on 123.85 MHz. The field itself has an ATIS on 120.025 MHz and Carcassonne Tower on 121 MHz.
Carcassonne Airport, also known as Salvaza Airport or Carcassonne Salvaza, has long handled both scheduled and non-scheduled air traffic for the Aude department. In 1993 the Official Airline Guide recorded Aigle Azur operating nonstop services from Carcassonne to Paris Orly using Saab 340 regional turboprop airliners. The airport also hosts a campus of the Ecole nationale de l'aviation civile, reflecting its longstanding role in French civil aviation training.
The airport continues to handle a combination of scheduled national and international commercial flights and private, non-regular air traffic. Its role as a base for the Ecole nationale de l'aviation civile means training flights are a regular feature of operations at the field.
