## Description

FedEx, UPS and DHL all run their own stations at Marseille Provence Airport (IATA: MRS, ICAO: LFML), which posted a record 62,195 tonnes of cargo in 2025, up 4.4 percent and driven largely by the direct Shanghai service launched in 2024. That keeps Marignane ahead of every French regional airport outside the Paris system on freight. DHL Express recently expanded its facility, doubling warehouse space and adding 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 for consignments arriving from Asia. Beside the field sit the global headquarters and final assembly lines of Airbus Helicopters. Passenger traffic reached about 11.28 million in 2025, up 1 percent and shaped by Ryanair and Air France, while 139 companies on the platform employ roughly 4,680 people. The A7 motorway handles road access, with the city centre some 25 kilometres to the southeast, and Vitrolles-Aéroport station provides regional rail. For heavier intercontinental volumes, forwarders still fall back on Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Lyon Saint-Exupéry (LYS).
