Ajaccio Napoléon Bonaparte Airport (AJA)

Ajaccio Napoléon Bonaparte Airport is the main airport serving Ajaccio, the capital of Corsica, and the island's west coast. Opened in 1935 as the Campo dell'Oro aerodrome and later renamed after Napoleon Bonaparte, it is Corsica's busiest airport and handles a mix of year-round and seasonal connections to mainland France and other European destinations.

Located about 5 km east of the city centre on the Campo dell'Oro plain, the airport has a single passenger terminal covering arrivals, departures, check-in, security, shopping and dining. It offers practical passenger services, including a central information desk, free Wi-Fi, charging points, shops, bars and restaurants, and a lounge.

Transfer options from AJA to Ajaccio and the surrounding coast include local buses, taxis, private transfers, chauffeur services and car rental. The drive to the city centre typically takes around 10 to 20 minutes depending on traffic, making the airport a convenient entry point for both short city stays and onward travel along the Corsican coast.

With regular services to cities such as Paris, Marseille, Nice and Lyon plus seasonal international routes, the airport supports both business and leisure travel to Corsica and provides a compact, easy-to-navigate start to a trip to Ajaccio and the wider island.
