## Description

Every air shipment from the Corrèze begins on the road: Brive-Souillac Airport (IATA: BVE, ICAO: LFSL) handled about 97,400 passengers in 2025 and runs no commercial cargo operation. Opened in 2010 at Nespouls to replace the old Brive-Laroche city airfield, it sits directly on the A20 motorway between Paris and Toulouse and serves the Corrèze, the Lot and the Dordogne valley. Chalair operates the year-round link to Paris-Orly, while Ryanair connects London Stansted and Seville; the Irish carrier announced a withdrawal for winter 2025, citing the increase in France's ticket solidarity tax, though London services remain listed for 2026. No dedicated freight terminal or scheduled freighter activity is documented at the airport. Forwarders therefore truck consignments to Toulouse-Blagnac (TLS), Bordeaux-Mérignac (BOD, roughly 200 km away) or Paris-CDG, where cargo terminals and customs clearance are located. Rail access runs through Brive-la-Gaillarde station on the Paris-Toulouse line. For summer 2026 Chalair has announced new seasonal ATR 72 services to Strasbourg and Geneva plus a weekly Ajaccio rotation, and the airport is operating without restrictions.
