Aéroport de Deauville Rebrands

Posted 18/05/2011

The French regional airport facility Aéroport de Deauville St Gatien has changed its name to Aéroport de Deauville-Normandie.  “This name change reinforces the identity of Deauville Airport as THE inter-regional for all of Normandy.  It consolidates its role not only within Normandy for the years to come but also in France and in the wider context of European aviation,” said Alain Le Vern, Président of Syndicat Mixte de l’Aéroport de Deauville Normandie, the Deauville Airport Public Authority, when questioned on the rebranding. 

This official name change was approved by the Conseil Supérieur pour l’Infrastructure Aérienne (CSINA), a committee under the aegis of the French Civil Aviation Authority following consultation with many interest groups within the catchment of Deauville Airport, the local governments in the region, as well as the two regional governments of Upper and Lower Normandy.  The airport has undergone some major investments over the past 18 months, including the resurfacing of its runway, the installation of new runway lighting and strengthening and widening of the main apron. 

The airport currently has just two scheduled air links, a four times weekly service to London City by Air France (operated by CityJet) and a weekly leisure route to Palma de Mallorca by Luxair.  The flight to the UK, launched last year, helped boost passenger traffic by almost a half to 125,460 in 2010.
