General

This small airport is located next to the river Loire. The Airbus factory here is the second most important production site of Airbus France and, consequently, frequently visited by the Airbus Beluga aircraft.

Layout

To the west are the enormous factories of Airbus. To the north are a small terminal and an aeroclub. Be aware that it is forbidden to stop along road D100 and to take pictures of the Airbus factory.

Getting There

From the dual carriageway N171 (Guérande-St. Nazaire-Nantes) take the exit "Montoir/Aeroport/Airbus Industries". Following the "Aeroport" and "Airbus Industries" signs will lead you to a small civil terminal and the huge Airbus factories. They can be seen for miles around, so it's very difficult to miss them.

Around the Airport

1Terminal

The factory builds sections for A330/340/380 aircraft. When ready they are moved outside and picked up by Beluga's which can be nicely photographed during taking off from the gate next to the civil terminal or from the small aeroclub hangar just down the road. As it is located to the north of the airport, there is a possibility of back light.
