The airport Châteauroux-Centre

Châteauroux Airport is located just 10 km from the city centre. The airport has three main activities: aircraft maintenance, air freight and pilot training. Thanks to its 3,500-metre runway, Châteauroux Airport is one of Europe’s leading sites for practising take-off and landing procedures. In 2018, the management team decided to increase traffic at this dynamic small airport by opening 4 new air routes in partnership with the airline IG Avion. For your summer holidays, for example, you could book a direct Châteauroux–Lyon flight, Châteauroux–Biarritz or a Châteauroux–Toulouse flight. The Châteauroux–Nice and Châteauroux–Ajaccio routes, which had enjoyed considerable success during summer 2017, were also renewed, much to the delight of local residents. If you preferred to travel abroad, you could also buy a Châteauroux–London plane ticket. Châteauroux Airport also works with travel agencies. In 2019, you could easily book an all-inclusive holiday with Héliades, Corsicatour or Top of Travel. While waiting for more information about the 2020 flight schedule, you can fly from Tours or Limoges, which offer a wider choice of direct flights to destinations in France and abroad.

Châteauroux-Centre Airport’s environmental approach

Sustainability initiatives Châteauroux-Centre

Airports & Travel recognises airports’ positive initiatives to protect the environment. An Eco-criterion rating is displayed as soon as the measures taken to reduce the airport’s environmental footprint demonstrate that it has reached an initial level of environmental commitment, proportionate to the airport’s level of activity.

Assessment based on information provided by the airport

Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) label

Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) is a global certification programme for airports, recognised by international air transport bodies. It assesses and certifies airports’ efforts to manage and reduce their carbon emissions across seven accreditation levels. Its aim is to provide a common framework for active carbon management and enable the airport industry to reduce its energy consumption.

Châteauroux-Centre Airport is accredited at Level 2.

Aéro biodiversité label

Founded in 2015, the Aéro Biodiversité association identifies, protects and promotes the biodiversity found in green spaces around airports. The Aéro Biodiversité label aims to protect the fauna and flora of this ecosystem through a scientific and participatory approach involving all airport stakeholders.

Châteauroux-Centre Airport does not hold the Aéro Biodiversité label.

Actions to preserve biodiversity

The green spaces around runways are home to a variety of animal and plant species, often specific to the area. Airports take a number of measures to limit the impact of their activities on the surrounding biodiversity.

Since 2012, the airport has been working with Indre Nature to preserve the flora and fauna on its site.

Alternative energy supply

Airports can decarbonise their operations through alternative energy sources by electrifying airside equipment and ground vehicles, providing charging points so that airlines with aircraft on the ground can avoid using the APU (auxiliary power unit), or supplying sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) to those airlines.

Châteauroux-Centre Airport does not use alternative energy sources or does not provide information about them.

Responsible natural resource management policy

Airports can limit their direct emissions by optimising their management of the natural resources (such as water, electricity and gas) used to run the airport infrastructure.

Châteauroux-Centre Airport does not have a policy for the responsible management of natural resources or does not provide information about it.

Waste sorting and recycling policy

Airports can improve the management of the waste generated by their activities by introducing a policy for sorting and recycling non-hazardous waste (cigarette butts, travellers’ waste) and hazardous waste (engine oil, various pollutants from aircraft).

Châteauroux-Centre Airport does not have a waste sorting and recycling policy or does not provide information about it.

Installation of solar panels

By installing solar panels, airports can supply themselves with sustainable electricity and optimise the use of their infrastructure.

Châteauroux-Centre Airport has not installed solar panels or has not disclosed information about this.

Development of airport access facilities

Depending on the size of the airport, direct links with the city centre may be developed to optimise passenger flows and reduce car use.

Châteauroux-Centre Airport does not have a policy for developing access facilities, or does not provide information about it.

Other environmental initiatives

Other eco-programmes refer to any other environmental action that the airport implements on its own initiative.

Châteauroux-Centre Airport has no other eco-programmes

Annual passenger numbers

An airport’s environmental footprint is proportional to its passenger traffic, as are the measures it can take to reduce it. The Airports & Travel Eco-criterion therefore takes this factor into account.

5 790 passengers passed through Châteauroux-Centre Airport in 2025.

In 2018, Châteauroux Airport expanded its range of flights.

The medieval town is located in the Indre department, in the heart of the Centre-Val de Loire region, just 2 hours 30 minutes from the capital.
