Avignon Caumont airport
Avignon-Caumont Airport (AVN) serves the city of Avignon in the Provence region of southern France, known for its well-preserved medieval walls and papal history. The runway here sits 124 feet above sea level and supports a mix of general aviation, seasonal charter, and limited scheduled flights. Avignon's popularity as a tourist destination, particularly during its famous summer theater festival, brings seasonal fluctuations in traffic through this regional airport. Most travelers to Provence still arrive via the TGV high-speed rail service or through larger airports in Marseille or Nice, leaving Avignon-Caumont with a comparatively modest passenger volume. Operating just one runway is consistent with similarly sized regional fields found throughout southern France.
