## Description

With a 3,015-metre main runway and around 230,000 passengers in 2023 (slightly down in 2024), Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne Airport (IATA: CFE, ICAO: LFLC) is the principal gateway of France's Auvergne region, set beside Michelin's global headquarters in Aulnat (Puy-de-Dôme). Air France links it to Paris-Orly, alongside Ryanair leisure routes. A roughly 450 sq m freight shed handles general and perishable cargo with dangerous-goods acceptance and X-ray screening, though most volume travels as belly load on scheduled flights. For substantial air freight, Lyon-Saint-Exupéry (LYS), about 192 km east, is the reference hub — France's second-largest cargo platform after Paris at roughly 170 tonnes a day. Air France relocated its former regional hub there back in 2000.
