## Description

Cherbourg-Maupertus Airport (CER / LFRC) sits at the northern tip of the Cotentin Peninsula near Gonneville-le-Theil, handling occasional scheduled flights and business aviation for this corner of Normandy. It has no commercial cargo operations. Logistics here revolve around the nearby Port of Cherbourg, whose ferries serve England and Ireland and which handles project cargo for offshore wind and nuclear equipment — freight moves by sea, not by air. For airfreight, Caen-Carpiquet (CFR), about 120 km south, or the Paris airports are the nearest options.
