Flying in Bordeaux: the local context

The Bordeaux-Mérignac CTR, shared with air base 106, covers the west of the conurbation: urban flights require coordination with both civil and military aviation. Sensitive sites abound — the Dassault plant and Mérignac aerospace zone, the Bacalan submarine base, the Aquitaine bridge — and the UNESCO-listed quaysides fall under the built-up-area scenario.

The Gironde metropolis is a complete market: booming real estate around Euratlantique and the Bassins à flot, prestigious wine estates (Médoc, Pessac-Léognan, Saint-Émilion) that are heavy users of vineyard mapping and monitoring, river tourism on the Garonne, and structural inspections from the Chaban-Delmas bridge to the Cité du Vin.
