Lieutenant Étienne Mantoux Air Base

Lieutenant Étienne Mantoux Air Base (LFQE) is a medium airport in Rouvres-en-Woëvre, France. It sits in Europe.

Lieutenant Étienne Mantoux Air Base is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments.

Lieutenant Étienne Mantoux Air Base sits near sea level at 770 ft.

Local operations run on Europe/Paris. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.

SkyAccess inventory for LFQE updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.

Use this page to compare LFQE against nearby alternatives, browse live empty-leg pricing in both directions, and brief yourself on the runway and elevation profile before you book.
