## Description

Albert-Picardie Airport (BYF/LFAQ) in the Somme owes its runway length to a single customer: the neighbouring Airbus plant at Méaulte, whose fuselage sections and tooling are flown between European Airbus sites such as Saint-Nazaire and Toulouse aboard Beluga and BelugaXL outsize freighters. The airfield is not open for general commercial air cargo — there is no public cargo terminal, no scheduled service and no forwarder handling — and it otherwise serves business and works aviation. Shippers arranging air freight for the Hauts-de-France region normally use Lille-Lesquin (LIL), about 100 km north, or Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG), roughly 150 km south-west, with road feeder services.
