## Description

On winter Saturdays, Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc (CMF) ranks among the busiest regional airports in France, as charter and scheduled flights from the UK, Scandinavia and the Netherlands deliver skiers to the Tarentaise resorts of Courchevel, Méribel and Val d'Isère. Operated by VINCI Airports, the field sits directly on Lac du Bourget with a 2,020 by 45 metre paved runway plus a 700 metre grass strip, and the approach between lake and mountainsides requires specific crew qualification. Traffic runs at around 210,000 passengers a year, heavily concentrated in the winter months, and in winter Chambéry ranks third among French airports for business aviation. There is no cargo terminal, no cool chain and no air freight customs post; goods move here at most as accompanied baggage. Air freight for Savoie and the alpine valleys is routed through Lyon-Saint-Exupéry (LYS), about 100 kilometres west, and Geneva (GVA) some 90 kilometres north, with Grenoble-Alpes-Isère (GNB) as a further option. Landside, the A43 motorway into the Maurienne and Tarentaise plus the Fréjus and Mont Blanc tunnels carry traffic to Italy - for alpine freight, the more relevant axis than the air route.
