Bordeaux Airport
Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport is the largest in the Aquitaine region and the sixth-largest in mainland France, with over 5.5 million passengers per year.
Domestically, while the Paris route suffers from competition with the TGV, flights to Lyon, Marseille, and a few other French cities offer some good opportunities, particularly thanks to airlines like EasyJet. Internationally, Bordeaux-Mérignac has quite a few connections to neighbouring countries (including the UK) and North Africa, mainly thanks to low-cost carriers. In season, the capital of Aquitaine is also linked to Montréal by Air Transat.
