## Description

230,617 passengers in 2025 put Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne (IATA CFE, ICAO LFLC) firmly in the regional category, and its freight profile follows suit. Operated by VINCI Airports at Aulnat in the Puy-de-Dôme, next to Michelin's home plants, the airport is the main gateway of France's Auvergne, with scheduled links to Paris Charles de Gaulle on Air France, Ajaccio on Air Corsica and Algiers on ASL Airlines. A freight shed of roughly 450 sq m handles general and perishable cargo, including dangerous-goods acceptance and X-ray screening, but volumes travel as belly cargo on those passenger flights; there is no regular freighter operation. The 3,015-metre main runway, also used by the military, could take larger aircraft. For substantial air freight, Lyon-Saint-Exupéry (LYS) about 192 road kilometres east is the reference platform — France's second cargo gateway after Paris — and Air France moved its former regional hub there back in 2000. Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) is the second option, a little over four hours away by truck, and customs clearance for larger consignments is normally done at those two airports.
