About Île d'Yeu Aerodrome
Île d'Yeu Aerodrome is the island's small air gateway, located in the Vendée department of the Pays de la Loire region in western France. The aerodrome serves general aviation, private charter flights and helicopter services connecting the island with the mainland.
Situated around 4 km from Port-Joinville, the main town of Île d'Yeu, the aerodrome operates a 1,220 m asphalt runway and a 575 m grass runway, with night lighting and landing procedures for reduced visibility. Its compact passenger terminal handles arriving and departing flights rather than large-scale airline operations.
Access to the rest of the island is straightforward by road, with taxis, private transfers, rental cars and pre-arranged chauffeur services available for the short journey to Port-Joinville. Ferry services from Port-Joinville and helicopter flights provide onward connections to the mainland.
Facilities at the aerodrome are limited but practical, including a waiting area, free car parking and aircraft parking. Travellers should plan to use the shops, restaurants and services in Port-Joinville before or after flying.
