## Description

When a Beluga drifts over the rooftops of Blagnac, nobody in Toulouse looks up anymore: Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (IATA: TLS, ICAO: LFBO) shares its grounds with the headquarters and final assembly lines of Airbus - the A320, A330 and A350 are built here, and Concorde and the A380 both made their maiden flights from this runway. The site's signature cargo is therefore aircraft parts: the Beluga transporters of Airbus Transport International shuttle between the European plants and land in Blagnac around the clock, joined by outsize charters carrying engines and fuselage sections. Conventional freight, by contrast, is modest and well below earlier peaks: about 31,600 tonnes were handled in 2024, up 6.9 percent year on year but far short of the historic high of over 59,000 tonnes recorded in 2012. It is supported by belly capacity, integrator stations and the export demand of an aerospace cluster comprising Airbus, ATR and hundreds of suppliers. On the passenger side, Toulouse counted around 8 million travellers in 2025, making it France's fifth-busiest airport; easyJet maintains a base, and Air France runs its Paris shuttle. Access is urban and short: central Toulouse lies just 7 kilometres away, tram line T2 serves the terminal, and the ring motorway and A62 open up the region. Industry visitors get a bonus - the Aeroscopia aviation museum with Concorde and Super Guppy stands right beside the Airbus halls, and factory tours rank among France's most-booked industrial visits.
