Béziers Cap d'Agde Airport
(French: Aéroport Béziers Cap d'Agde) (IATA: BZR, ICAO: LFMU) is an airport
serving the town of Béziers and the nearby Languedoc coastal resorts such as
Cap d'Agde. The airport is located 11.5 km (6.2 NM) east-southeast of Béziers,
near Vias in the Hérault department. It was previously known as Béziers-Vias
Airport. The airport handles commercial national flights as well as private,
non-regular air traffic.
History
Because of its comparatively short
runway measuring 1,820 m × 30 m (5,971 ft × 98 ft), the airport was unable to
benefit from the growth of low-cost flights that had fuelled expansion at other
airports in the region (Carcassonne, Perpignan, Montpellier and Nîmes). For
some years there were plans to extend the runway and this work was finally
carried out between November 2006 and February 2007. The new runway is now
capable of handling the Boeing 737-sized jets favoured by low-cost carriers.
After a runway expansion
completed in 2007, daily direct flights to Paris Orly and seasonal services to
Bastia were augmented by Ryanair flights to and from Bristol International
Airport, which commenced March 2008. On 24 March 2008, it was announced that
during the summer months Ryanair flights would also operate to and from London
Stansted with a possibility of being extended should they prove successful. Further flights from Béziers to London Luton
Airport were announced in June 2008 and these commenced twice a week from
October 2008.
On 1st May 2014, Flybe decided to
close their Southampton link, causing major disruption in the area, and a
probable closure from Montpellier Airport. It was then suggested that Flybe
restart it, but no response yet.
Facilities
The airport resides at an
elevation of 56 feet (17 m) above mean sea level. It has one paved runway
designated 09/27 with an asphalt surface measuring 2,000 by 45 metres (6,562 ft
× 148 ft) The runway is equipped with ILS.
