Situated on the west coast of France, Bordeaux Airport has unveiled a summer flight schedule that demonstrates strong growth with extensive connections to and from the regional hub.
The airport’s summer network will feature 123 direct routes, including 13 new links and 89 destinations. In addition 24 airline partners have reiterated their trust in the appeal of Bordeaux’s regional market with destinations being served in Turkey and the Mediterranean islands, and as far afield as North Africa, Canada and Norway.
Commenting on the summer 2022 season, Simon Dreschel, CEO of Bordeaux Airport said: “We are delighted to be reconnecting the region with the world, thanks to a comprehensive, diverse flight schedule. All the airlines partnering the airport still believe in the appeal of Bordeaux and indeed the entire region. Symbolising this recovery, Hall B will open on Sunday 27 March to launch the season, followed by the billi terminal once the season peaks. Airport staff will be pulling out all the stops to ensure the comfort and health safety of all passengers.”
The popular low-cost carrier, Ryanair, has announced a wide-reaching summer schedule from Bordeaux with 42 direct routes, 11 of which are new, including: Zadar in Croatia, Malta, Trapani in Sicily, Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Alghero in Sardinia, Barcelona and Madrid in Spain, Birmingham in the UK, and Brindisi (Puglia), Pisa and Rome in Italy. Meanwhile Spanish airline Volotea is adding Florence and Athens to its network from the French hub.
Alongside the 67 European destinations being served from Bordeaux, there are five direct routes between Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Morocco: Agadir, Casablanca, Fez, Marrakesh and Tangiers. Meanwhile Air Transat will resume its direct route to Montreal in Canada from May.
The summer season also heralds the return of network airlines with Turkish Airlines resuming its five weekly flights to the new international airport in Istanbul. British Airways is reopening its route to London Gatwick and Lufthansa is stepping up flights out of Bordeaux by doubling the number of seats for the season compared to 2021.
