## Description

UIP / LFRQ — the codes for Quimper-Bretagne Airport, 5.5 km southwest of Quimper in Brittany's Finistère — turn up in cargo searches, but the honest answer is that no freight moves here. Since the last scheduled flight (Chalair to Paris-Orly) ended in November 2023, the airfield has focused on private, business and charter aviation plus the local aeroclub. It has a paved runway and hangars but no regular cargo operation, so it is not freight-capable in practice. For actual air freight, companies in the Cornouaille use Brest-Bretagne (BES, about 70 km, roughly an hour by road) or truck to the major gateways at Paris-CDG and Nantes-Atlantique (NTE). The airport is run by the Région Bretagne, with on-demand flights bookable via the OpenFly platform.
