Toulouse–Blagnac Airport ( French: Aéroport de Toulouse–Blagnac) ( IATA: TLS, ICAO: LFBO) is an international airport located 3.6 nautical miles (6.7 km; 4.1 mi) west northwest of Toulouse, partially in Blagnac, both communes of the Haute-Garonne department in the Occitanie region of France. In 2017, the airport served 9,264,611 passengers. [2] As of April 2017, the airport features flights to 74 destinations, mostly in Europe and Northern Africa with a few additional seasonal long-haul connections. [3]
Both Airbus and ATR manufacture aircraft at nearby facilities and test them from the airport.
The airport covers 780 hectares (1,927 acres) of land. [4]
The airport consists of one passenger terminal divided into four halls which provide 68 counters and 34 gates on 100,000-square-metre (1,100,000 sq ft) floor space: [5]
The airport is at an elevation of 499 feet (152 m) above mean sea level. It has two asphalt-paved runways: 14R/32L is 3,500 by 45 metres (11,483 ft × 148 ft) and 14L/32R is 3,000 by 45 metres (9,843 ft × 148 ft). [1]
A Concorde formerly operated by Air France with the registration F-BVFC is preserved at the Aeroscopia Museum near the airport.[ citation needed] Airbus and ATR utilize runway 32L/14R for flight testing and delivery flights, while runway 32R/14L is used by commercial flights coming in to Toulouse (Airbus also uses this runway for formation flights).[ citation needed] Also, the Airbus Delivery Center is on the runway 32L/14R side.
Toulouse–Blagnac Airport SA is a limited liability company; the share capital is €148,000 and it has authority to operate the airport until 2046 under a franchise agreement awarded by the French government. The current CEO is Philippe Crébassa. [6]

Since April 2015, the T2 tram line connects Toulouse with the airport every 15 minutes. [49] The tram connects with metro ligne A at Arènes and metro ligne B at Palais de Justice. It takes about 35 minutes with a change to go to the city center by tram.
Shuttle buses to Toulouse city centre stop outside Hall B every 20 minutes. Faster than the tram, they take approximately 20 minutes to reach the city centre, stopping at Compans-Caffarelli and Jeanne d'Arc (both on Metro Line B), Jean Jaurès ( Metro Line A and B) and at Toulouse-Matabiau railway station. [50] Three daily coach services [51] connect Toulouse–Blagnac Airport to Andorra, which does not have its own commercial airport.
