## Description

Somewhere between 363,000 and 399,000 passengers passed through Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport (CLY/LFKC) in 2025 depending on the source — a volume driven almost entirely by the summer season in Corsica's Balagne region. The airport lies about eight kilometres south-east of Calvi and is managed by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Bastia and Haute-Corse. Air Corsica is the main operator, flying the public service obligation routes to Paris, Marseille and Nice, alongside seasonal leisure services from other European carriers. For freight the field is marginal: the single runway is sized for narrow-body aircraft, no dedicated cargo terminal or freighter operation is confirmed, and shipments travel as belly cargo — workable for express parcels, spare parts and courier traffic, not for palletised loads. Goods for the Balagne arrive through the ferry ports of Calvi and L'Île-Rousse or via the port of Bastia, some 90 kilometres away over mountain roads. Alternative airports are Bastia-Poretta (BIA) and Ajaccio Napoléon-Bonaparte (AJA), with Marseille-Provence (MRS) on the mainland for larger consignments. As Corsica lies inside the EU customs territory, consignments from the European Union require no customs clearance, with French VAT rules applying.
