## Description

A busy training circuit and an empty freight apron sum up Cazaux Air Base (BA 120, LFBC), a French Air and Space Force installation at La Teste-de-Buch some 55 kilometres south-west of Bordeaux. The base trains fighter crews and runs gunnery sorties over the Bay of Biscay; resident units include the Franco-Belgian Alpha Jet fighter school, helicopter squadron EH 1/67 "Pyrénées" flying the EC725 Caracal, and No. 150 Squadron of the Republic of Singapore Air Force with M-346 trainers, based here since November 2012. There are no civil scheduled, charter or cargo flights, no ground handling agent and no customs facility for air freight. Shippers in Nouvelle-Aquitaine use Bordeaux-Mérignac (BOD) as their air cargo gateway, about an hour away via the A63 and A660 motorways. Toulouse-Blagnac (TLS) offers a second regional option, while intercontinental consignments normally route through Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG); the port of Bordeaux provides the sea freight alternative.
