## Description

LFCH is the ICAO code of Arcachon-La Teste-de-Buch Airfield, a leisure field with no commercial cargo handling at all. It sits roughly 4.5 km south-east of Arcachon, within the commune of La Teste-de-Buch in the Gironde, and is operated by the COBAS inter-communal authority. Light aircraft, microlights, helicopters, parachuting, model flying and flight training share the site; there are no scheduled or charter freight services and no customs office. For air freight, Bordeaux-Mérignac (BOD) is the nearest full option, about 60 km away via the A660 and A63, with cargo handling and customs clearance on site. Perishable regional products such as Arcachon Basin oysters typically move by road feeder to Bordeaux or on to Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle (CDG), which has a dedicated perishables centre and far denser long-haul frequencies. For heavy or oversized consignments, the Port of Bordeaux with its Bassens and Le Verdon terminals offers a multimodal alternative. Anyone planning shipments out of Arcachon should factor in the trucking leg and summer coastal congestion.
