Lyon–Saint-Exupéry Airport
Lyon–Saint Exupéry Airport
(French: Aéroport de Lyon-Saint Exupéry), formerly known as Lyon Satolas
Airport (IATA: LYS, ICAO: LFLL), is the international airport of Lyon, the
third-biggest city in France and an important transport facility for the entire
Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It lies in Colombier-Saugnieu, 11 nautical miles
(20 km; 13 mi) southeast of Lyon's city centre.
Development since the 2000s
The airport was originally named
Lyon Satolas Airport, but in 2000 the airport and train station were renamed in
honour of Lyonnais aviation pioneer and writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, on the
centenary of his birth. He was a native of Lyon, and a laureate of the Grand
Prix du roman de l'Académie française, and died in World War II. In 2013, the
airport served 8,562,298 passengers, an increase of 1.3% over the previous
year. Air freight increased by 22.7% to 44,820 tonnes, although overall
aircraft movements dropped by 2.8% to 113,420.
Facilities
The airport consists of passenger
terminals 1 and 2 which are interconnected on the landside by a central building
that itself has a foot-bridge to the nearby Gare de Lyon Saint-Exupéry
long-distance station and the Rhônexpress terminus. The airport also features
two runways as well as cargo facilities. A total of 16,000 car spaces in four
car parks (P2-P5) are available. Two of the parks are underground (P2 and P3)
while the long-stay parks (P4 and P5) are located at a distance from the
terminals behind the railway station.
