Bordeaux–Mérignac Airport — Bordeaux, France

Bordeaux–Mérignac Airport, known by the code BOD, serves the city of Bordeaux in southwestern France from its location in the suburb of Mérignac. Sitting at 162 feet above sea level, the airport runs two runways and ranks among the busier regional airports in France outside Paris. It connects Bordeaux to destinations across Europe and North Africa, supporting both the city's growing tech and business sectors and the tourism drawn by the surrounding wine country. Bordeaux sits at the center of one of the world's most famous wine-producing regions, and the airport sees seasonal spikes tied to harvest season and wine tourism. A dedicated shuttle links the terminal to Bordeaux's tram network, giving travelers a straightforward alternative to taxis. Cargo facilities at BOD also support the aerospace industry present in the region, since several aircraft manufacturers maintain operations nearby, and freight tied to that sector moves steadily through the airport year-round.
