Destinations, flights, and services at Bordeaux Aéroport airport

Bordeaux Aéroport has just reached Level 4 of Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA). This new certification marks a significant development in the airport’s environmental strategy. Since 2019, Bordeaux Aéroport says it has reduced its emissions directly linked to its activities by around 30%, particularly those from its buildings and facilities.

To continue reducing these emissions, the airport plans several concrete measures. One of them concerns aircraft parked on the ground: all aircraft parking stands are now electrified. Aircraft can therefore use the electricity available at their parking stand for their needs during the stopover, instead of running their own auxiliary engines. Bordeaux Aéroport is also developing renewable electricity generation. Solar panels are being installed on some car parks and buildings to generate part of the electricity consumed directly at the airport. This initiative does not concern the airport alone. Bordeaux Aéroport also wants to involve the companies and partners based at the airport in its emissions reduction targets. A climate partnership charter has therefore been introduced, and several airport stakeholders have already committed to this initiative. By reaching Level 4 of ACA, Bordeaux Aéroport is therefore embedding its climate transition in a long-term approach, combining emissions reductions, the development of renewable energy and the mobilisation of the stakeholders who work at the airport every day.

Bordeaux Airport is accelerating its digital transformation with Physical AI technology developed by Outsight. It can now anticipate peak traffic periods and reduce queues at security checkpoints. Welcoming more than 6 million passengers a year, Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport is streamlining the traveller journey and putting travellers’ satisfaction first. Thanks to 3D LiDAR technology, the system detects peaks in crowd density and anticipates waiting times. Its lasers precisely measure passenger flows to ensure a consistently smooth experience. The number of lanes open at security screening checkpoints is then adjusted, and directing passengers to the boarding gates is made easier. By automating queue monitoring, the Bordeaux hub makes it easier for passengers to move through the airport before takeoff. This technology also benefits airlines by providing better flight monitoring. The goal is clear: to offer a seamless experience, from baggage drop-off to boarding, for every destination on Bordeaux’s air network.

Since November 2025, Bordeaux airport has officially adopted its new brand: Bordeaux Aéroport. This simplified, clear name is intended to make it easier for international travelers to recognize while highlighting its ties to the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Its slogan: “Together, let’s move things forward” embodies the airport’s collective ambition: smoother mobility that is responsible and committed. This transformation is part of the “Ressources 27” strategic plan, launched in 2022, which calls for a more streamlined, useful airport model rooted in its region. Among the concrete projects is the construction of a building linking Halls A and B by 2028, designed to improve the passenger experience while meeting energy-efficiency goals. The “Billi” terminal, inaugurated in September 2025, is already part of this initiative. It embodies modernity and enables better adaptation to low-cost airlines. By adopting a clearer, more ambitious identity, Bordeaux Aéroport is positioning itself as a major player in air mobility and regional connectivity. This rebranding marks the beginning of a far-reaching transformation, with an airport that is more committed to the environment, better connected to its region and ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
