Bordeaux Airport

Bordeaux–Mérignac Airport (IATA: BOD), originally opened in 1927 and expanded into the modern Mérignac complex after World War II, is a medium-sized international gateway serving Bordeaux and the Nouvelle‑Aquitaine region. The airport has two main passenger terminals handling domestic, European and seasonal long-haul routes and is an important regional hub for business and leisure travel. Accessibility is strong thanks to frequent airport shuttle buses and local bus links to Bordeaux city center and the Saint‑Jean rail hub, plus quick road access via the A630 ring road and plentiful taxis and rideshares. With a healthy mix of low-cost carriers, it’s generally considered affordable for travelers and acts as a base for airlines such as easyJet and Volotea, with Air France maintaining a notable presence.
