I hear rumours that a low-cost carrier is going to start flights from the UK to Beziers. Any one know any more?

This rumour has been around for a few years now. The problem was with Bezier is that the runway was too short for the aircraft operated by most carriers. If the runway has not been lengthened then I suspect it will stay a rumour. But in any event the area is well served with three airports used by low cost carriers all within an hour of Bezier and a fourth at Nimes 30 minutes further on.

The runway at Beziers is 200m too short.  However the Mairie is apparently applying to the Conseil Generale for funds to lengthen it and it is 'in progress'.   Beziers are 'understandably' wanting to get onto the Ryanair bandwagon and once it's finished will be able to offer Ryanair another cheap landing spot.

They seem to have been applying for a long time now-I bought in the area in 1988 and have been hearing the same ever since-the airport is actually closer to Agde and Vias.

Latest on Beziers:

The runway is currently closed, it's being lengthened to 2000m from 1800m & from 30m to 45m wide and the depth of it is being seen to as well.  It should be done by December and then they will approach airlines such as Ryanair & Easy Jet to fly a lo-cost route into it.

So no 'confirmed' flights yet but they will be touting for business, a case of watch this space I think!!

My latest is that cheap direct flights to Beziers/Vias will start in April 2007, but I don't know which airline is involved or where they will originate in the UK.

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.
