Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport

Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport (LFBD) is a large airport in Bordeaux/Mérignac, NAQ, France. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code LFBD or IATA code BOD. It sits in Europe.

Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.

Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport sits near sea level at 162 ft.

Local operations run on Europe/Paris. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.

SkyAccess currently tracks 9 departing and 10 arriving private-jet legs at LFBD across the next six months of operator inventory. 11 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

As one of the larger fields in France, LFBD tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.
