Flying to Bordeaux
Bordeaux-Mérignac (LFBD) opens up the vineyards, the ocean and Arcachon Bay, with a 3,100-metre curfew-free runway. Private-jet demand peaks at harvest and during the en-primeur sales, which draw buyers and enthusiasts worldwide. In summer, departures to the Atlantic coast and Cap-Ferret extend the activity.
Bordeaux is paced by wine: the en-primeur sales in spring, the harvest in autumn draw buyers and enthusiasts worldwide, often for an intense forty-eight hours. In summer, the Atlantic coast and Cap-Ferret take over. Curfew-free, the field suits tight return trips as much as a few days of wine tourism.
On the ground, handling at Mérignac is provided by leading FBOs — Sky Valet and Signature — for reception, formalities and boarding a few steps from the aircraft.
