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?.......    Report

NW Leics/SE Dordogne Posts 2,101 RE: Brive Airport Plans 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. Hoddy    Report

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

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. Hoddy    Report

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    Report

I'm sure someone will see this topic soon enough that has all the answers.....    Report

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   Cathy Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...    Report
