Brive Airport Plans

ChrisintheNoir 06/09/2005, 19:05

Hello all.

I am sure I have heard that there is a new airport/flight route being planned for the Brive area.

However, I have been unable to find any further information on this and am now concerned that I am in fact going mad.

Does anyone have any information on this at all that they would be able to share to help re-assure me of my sanity once more?.......

When we were househunting in 2001/2, a friendly estate agent showed us where the flight path would be so that we could avoid it.
You may have read my post about flying from Bergerac in the very hot weather. Given the inconvenience I would have thought Brive would be a better bet - it's always a few degrees cooler there than Bergerac. Here's hoping.

I don't suppose you can recall what the proposed flight path was, where the airport was being planned to be situated, when the flights are intended to be up and running etc?

This seems like pretty important info to me but I have been unable to find out anything about it on my searches so far.

Only very vaguely, I'm afraid. It was west of the motorway in the area where the out of town shops are on the Terrasson - Brive road. I'm afraid I can't remember whether it was north or south of that road. On the map I saw the flight path was shown to the west.
I don't think a date was mentioned.

There is not much room to expand Brive airport(which is on the terrasson road). It can only take small planes and it is unnerving enough to be in the carpark at Carrefour when one of these lands. I heard that a new airport was being planned further down the motorway towards Souillac. All they need to do is fond enough flat ground

I hope you're right, Saddie - that would suit me very nicely !
Depending on where they fly from of course.

We are slowly getting more details then There must be a website somewhere that details this but if there is I am certainly struggling to find it. I'm sure someone will see this topic soon enough that has all the answers.....

I was told by an estate agent, that the Mayor in Brive said the airport was to be built at Cressensac.Start in 2005 complete 2006.One can only imagine they are coing to employ 10000 chinese,to complete in that time scale

From what I can see, it looks as if it is on the A20/A89 intersection.

If you can believe all you read on the internet, it is at Nespouls, the land clearing has been completed, work on the runway and buildings will start in September this year, and the airport is due for completion in 2007.

Anyone interested can read more (in French,PDF format, page 4) on

http://www.tulle-ussel.cci.fr/ADIEC/ADIEC174.pdf

The airport access details currently given are...

"Accès à l’aéroport ; autoroute A 20,

échangeur de Nespouls, RN 20 jusqu’à Reyjades,

puis nouvelle voie d’accès jusqu’à

l’aéroport, prise en charge par le Département."

Hope this helps
