## Description

Air France, easyJet, Transavia and Volotea anchor the schedule at Montpellier Méditerranée Airport (IATA: MPL, ICAO: LFMT), the international gateway of France's ninth-largest city at Mauguio near the Mediterranean coast. The airport handled about 1.8 million passengers in 2024 and around 1.69 million in 2025, some 87% of its 2019 level, across roughly 14 airlines. SWISS added a Zurich link in June 2025, and Volotea has made Montpellier its 20th European base, with eleven new routes — including Málaga, Agadir, Madrid and Dublin — announced for 2026. Air cargo plays a secondary role: most freight moves as belly capacity on passenger flights, supplemented by occasional all-cargo rotations such as a West Atlantic/Swiftair Boeing 737-400SF, with an enlarged cargo area under construction. For larger volumes, Marseille Provence (MRS), about 170 km east, is the nearest major cargo hub. The A9 motorway links the site to the network toward Spain and the Rhône valley.
