## Description

FedEx, UPS and DHL all run their own stations at Marseille Provence Airport (IATA: MRS, ICAO: LFML), which handled 59,587 tonnes of cargo in 2024 — up 8.1 percent on the back of growing traffic to North Africa and the Mediterranean. That ranks Marseille among France's leading provincial freight airports. DHL Express recently expanded its facility, doubling warehouse space and adding direct links to Algeria. Belly capacity on scheduled flights to North Africa and the Middle East — a market where MRS is traditionally strong — rounds out the offer. Proximity to Marseille-Fos, France's largest seaport, opens sea-air combinations. Right beside the field at Marignane sit the global headquarters and final assembly lines of Airbus Helicopters; half the civil helicopters flying worldwide trace their roots here. Passenger traffic runs to around 11 million a year, shaped by Ryanair and Air France. The A7 motorway handles road access, with the city centre about 25 kilometres to the southeast, while Vitrolles-Aéroport station provides regional rail.
