The runway extensions are planned to take part early in 2007 - the airport will be closed for three weeks in January/February for major works.  Negotiations are in process with a low-cost airline to provide flights to the UK or Germany from next summer.

This information is from official Chamber of Commerce publications that I picked up at the airport last week.  Reading between the lines, I would guess that it's Ryanair (bases in UK and Germany), so watch for announcements.

There's a piece in today's Midi Libre about the re-opening of the airport after the runway extension from 1800m to 2045m.  No mention of any l-c carrier(s) though.

From the CCI's airport website: ( http://www.beziers.cci.fr/3-13462-Detail-of-news.php?idactualite=94&titre_page=R%E9ouverture+de+l%27a%E9roport+de+B%E9ziers )

"La CCI de Béziers poursuit activement sa prospection d’opérateurs débutée il y a un an, en vue de l’élargissement de son offre de destinations à l’échelle européenne et de l’ouverture d’une première liaison vers la Grande-Bretagne en 2007.

Son objectif demeure la création de 3 destinations internationales d’ici 2009, générant près de 150 000 passagers complémentaires et 150 millions d’euros de retombées économiques locales."

So, a link to GB this year and 3 international links by 2009, but no mention of which airline.

Wonder if EasyJet might be more interested than Ryanair.

Ryanair flies in to Carcasonne not very far away whilst EasyJet flies in to Toulouse which is a lot further away

Not only Carcasonne but also Montpellier and Perpignan which all serve that area but I would use Vias-Beziers-it's only 8 ml. down the road.

It's possible, but Easyjet doesn't seem to have been too interested in the Languedoc so far. Ryanair obviously has Carcassonne, Perpignan, Montpellier, Nimes and Rodez, all within an hour or so of Beziers, so that could be overkill, or it could make good business sense to keep the region for themselves.  The rumours from Beziers always refer to flights to/from UK and Germany, which of course would suggest Ryanair. Another possibility is Air Berlin
