## Description

Passengers dominate, freight follows: Ajaccio Napoléon Bonaparte (IATA: AJA, ICAO: LFKJ) handled 1,604,823 travellers in 2025 but only around 6,000 tonnes of cargo, a ratio typical of an island airport, here on the Mediterranean shore at Campo dell'Oro west of the city. Air Corsica, Air France and seasonal carriers link Corsica's busiest airport with Paris, Marseille, Nice and Lyon, and almost all freight rides in their belly holds. Roughly 500 m² of handling space is operated by local agents Air Fret Services and Corsica Express; no main-deck freighter or integrator base exists here. Heavier or time-critical mainland consignments are therefore consolidated via Marseille Provence (MRS), with Bastia Poretta (BIA) in northern Corsica as the alternative. Customs follows EU rules because Corsica lies inside the Union customs territory, though specific reduced VAT rates apply to island transactions. Bulk exports of wine, cheese and citrus continue to move by ferry from the Port of Ajaccio a few kilometres away.
