Flying in Albi: the local context

Prefecture of the Tarn, Albi owes its nickname of "red city" to the local brick of its UNESCO-listed Episcopal City: Sainte-Cécile cathedral — the world's largest brick cathedral —, the Berbie palace housing the Toulouse-Lautrec museum, the 11th-century Pont-Vieux and the banks of the Tarn form a spectacular ensemble from the air, especially at sunset. Albi-Le Séquestre aerodrome (LFCI), to the south-west near the motor-racing circuit, is the main aeronautical point of attention.

The Albi economy combines administration, universities (INU Champollion, IMT Mines Albi), industry (glassworks, pharmaceuticals) and fast-growing heritage tourism. Drone demand: tourism promotion of the Episcopal City (with the proper authorisations), real estate, construction monitoring, Gaillac winegrowing twenty minutes away and event coverage at the Albi circuit.
