## Description

Bourges is a defence town rather than a freight gateway: home to MBDA and KNDS (Nexter) plants and a DGA weapons-testing site, its airport (IATA BOU, ICAO LFLD) handles business, training and military flights. The 1,550 m asphalt runway 06/24 suits business jets, but there is no scheduled or cargo service. Regional air freight is best routed through Châteauroux-Déols (CHR) just 53 km away — a 24/7 cargo-capable field — with larger consignments via Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG). For forwarders, BOU is a corporate and military airfield, not a cargo point.
