Le Mans Airport

[t1grm]

Just out of curiosity do any airlines operate scheduled flights to Le Mans airport or is it a private airfield?

The airport code is LME but I can’t find any flights there. If there are any I assume they will just be regional flights from other French Airports by a prop driven aircraft? If so might be fun to fly in one year via Paris or Bordeaux

On race day I seem to rember there being about 2 commercial flights that get booked many months before the rest is GA (General Aviation), expect there to be around 100 single engines and about 30-50 twins. Landing fee is a little steep at about 100 pounds. I fly in each year.

Last year we couldnt fly in as planned due to weather so jumped on wuro star and our pilot flew in at mid day on sunday and we flew out on monday eve....


No landing fee and even the fuel was reasonable !!!!


maybe they made enough cash thurs - sat and the till was full

Air Atlantique are doing a flight in on the Saturday and back on the Sunday in a DC3!!

It's about £575 though.

Bored pilot,

my old man sold BBNI a few years ago! It was based up in Elstree. Small world.

But in aviation everything is a small world. For instance I was a sponsered cadet for Air Atlantic, so I know some of thge pilots flying the DC3 to Le Mans
