Although Loudes’ runway favors smaller jets, select super-midsize aircraft such as the Citation Sovereign can be accommodated for longer continental journeys, subject to operational review.
Heavy jets generally require larger airports, but upon request, select charter partners can arrange repositioning to nearby Lyon or Clermont-Ferrand for long-haul and transatlantic missions.
