Le Castellet International Airport reopens after renovations

After two months of renovation, Le Castellet International Airport reopened its doors to air traffic on January 22th. A breath of fresh air for the Var airport inaugurated by Paul Ricard in 1962.

 Ideally located on the edge of the Circuit Paul Ricard and a few kilometers from seaside resorts such as Cannes and Saint-Tropez, Le Castellet International Airport welcomes, all year round and discreetly, travelers on tourist visits or on business trips to the South region, or racing drivers who come to the Circuit Paul Ricard.

 The work entrusted to Colas last November mobilized a hundred employees for two months. The construction techniques have been designed to limit the environmental impact of the work (for example, the reuse or recycling of 100% of the materials on the site).

 This major project, entirely financed by Le Castellet International Airport compagny, was an opportunity to adapt the runway to the new European and international standard of the EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency).

 Soon, work will also start in the Castellet terminal to modernize the passenger reception area: lighting, floor repairs, painting, air conditioning... The airport will present a unique offer and modern equipment.
