At Étain-Rouvres in the Meuse, not far from the Verdun battlefields, French Army Aviation operates the Lieutenant Étienne Mantoux base: the 3rd Combat Helicopter Regiment is stationed here with attack and transport helicopters. The field is purely military, with no civilian flight or freight traffic. For air cargo from the Verdun/Meuse area, the nearby Luxembourg freight hub (LUX, approx. 90 km) is the obvious choice, with Nancy-Lorraine (ENC) as an alternative.
