of Tillé in France. It is the tenth busiest airport in France, handling

New control tower under
construction
The new control tower is active
since January 22nd, 2019. It is located on the southern side of the airport and
is replacing the one of 1962, sitting between the two terminals.
Runway
The main runway has an Instrument
landing system CAT III for runway 12 and CAT I for runway 30 plus a Precision
Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) for runway 12. A PAPI will also be installed for
runway 30 at the end of 2018. This enables aircraft to land at the airport in
bad weather conditions, with visibility as low as 75 meters.
Terminal
When the low-cost airline Ryanair
chose Beauvais–Tillé in May 1997 for three daily connections with Dublin, the
terminal of this regional airport consisted of a simple hangar built in 1979.
Since then four additional stations for planes and in 2010 a second terminal of
6,000 square metres (65,000 sq ft) had to be built to face a significant
increase in traffic. The airport is equipped to handle medium-sized passenger
jets. Since 2007 the ban on night flying has been strictly enforced for the
benefit of local residents. The terminal building closes between the hours of
23:30 and 06:30. The airport has two terminals, some restaurants, snack bars,
and shopping areas, both airside and in the publicly accessible area.
