Lyon is served primarily by Lyon–Saint Exupéry Airport (LYS), the region’s main international hub handling most long-haul and European flights, and by Lyon–Bron, a smaller airfield used mainly for business and general aviation. Saint Exupéry typically hosts legacy carriers and several low-cost airlines, and can be perceived as mid-range in price compared with Paris; it lies about 20–25 km east of the city center. Ground links include the Rhônexpress tram to Lyon Part-Dieu in roughly 30 minutes (tickets usually in a moderate fare band), regional trains and airport buses that can take 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, and taxis or rideshares that are quicker but costlier. Pros: broader flight choice and reliable public connections; cons: transfer times and occasional peak congestion. Bron is convenient for private or short-haul corporate trips, located closer to central Lyon with more limited scheduled services and fewer transport options.
