New airport for Nantes?
Serving nearly 4 million passengers per year Nantes Airport is amongst the 10 busiest in France. Due to the proximity to the city, however, its capacity for expansion is very limited. To cater for the needs of the rapidly growing air traffic in the region, Nantes Airport is planned to be replace by Aéroport du Grand Ouest, a new airport currently under construction in Notre-Dame-Des-Landes commune, approx. 19 miles north-west of Nantes.
