Lorient South Brittany (Bretagne Sud) Airport
LRT is the IATA code for Lorient South Brittany (Bretagne Sud) Airport, serving the port city of Lorient on France's Atlantic coast alongside the nearby Lann-Bihoué naval air base with which it shares runways. The site began as a French Navy aviation facility and continues to host military aircraft, including patrol squadrons, while the civilian terminal handles seasonal and regional flights connecting Brittany to Paris and other domestic hubs. Lorient itself is known for its submarine base history from World War II and its Interceltic Festival. LRT is a modest, mostly domestic gateway rather than an international hub, and its dual civil-military character shapes both its schedule and its limited passenger facilities.
