Situated at a good 1,000 metres in the Neuchâtel Jura, Les Eplatures (ICAO: LSGC) is one of Switzerland's highest airfields with an asphalt runway. It serves La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle — the watchmaking towns whose urban layout UNESCO declared a World Heritage Site in 2009 and where brands such as TAG Heuer manufacture. Business flights for the watch industry accordingly shape operations alongside general aviation; there are no scheduled or freight services. For air cargo from the region, EuroAirport Basel (IATA: BSL, approx. 90 km) and Geneva (IATA: GVA, approx. 110 km) are the nearest alternatives.
