More than 2,650,000 passengers travelled through Pays de la Loire main airports last year: Nantes and Angers airports.

Largest Airport
|
In 2007 Nantes Atlantique airport welcomed 2,600,000 passengers. These figures are growing each year and the region is now planning a new huge airport South of Nantes, but the project faces an opposition from the public mainly because of the noise it would create.

Local Airports
|
Angers Airport: With only 3 flights per week it is doing not so bad, with 50,000 passengers last year. It is mainly a point of departure to Southampton, and from there passengers go where they want in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands... Flights are operated by Flybe and Eastern Airways.
La Roche sur Yon Airport: A small local aerodrome. No flights but just leisure and school planes there. You can land here with a private plane though.
