## Description

Winch-launched gliders rising against the central Pyrenees set the tone at Saint-Girons - Antichan Airfield (ICAO LFCG), a roughly 1,100 m strip with no freight activity whatsoever. It lies on the commune of Lorp-Sentaraille, about 4 km north-west of Saint-Girons in the Couserans valley of the Ariège. The Aéroclub de l'Ariège runs the site, which hosts gliding, powered flying, training and the occasional business flight. There is no cargo handling, no customs post and no dangerous-goods acceptance, and the combination of runway length and mountain terrain effectively rules out freighter aircraft. For air freight from the Ariège, Toulouse-Blagnac (TLS) is the reference point: about 100 km via the RN20 and A64, with cargo warehousing, customs clearance and close ties to the aerospace supply chain. Barcelona-El Prat (BCN) on the Spanish side of the Pyrenees and Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle (CDG) are alternatives for intercontinental traffic. Shippers in the Couserans should allow for mountain roads and possible winter pass closures in their pre-carriage time.
