About Pau Pyrénées Airport
Pau Pyrénées Airport (PUF) is the main airport serving Pau, the historic capital of Béarn in southwest France, and the wider Pyrénées-Atlantiques department. The airport is located in the commune of Uzein, about 10 km northwest of Pau city centre.
The airfield was established in 1948 and has since developed into a compact regional gateway. A passenger terminal was built in 1984 and modernised in the early 2000s, and the airport now operates from a single terminal building.
It connects Pau and the Béarn region primarily with Paris through flights to Paris Charles de Gaulle and Paris Orly, alongside regional services to Lyon and seasonal summer routes. This makes it an important access point for both business travel and leisure trips to the Pyrenees, Lourdes and the Atlantic coast.
The airport is reached via the A64 motorway, and public bus services, taxis, private transfers and car rental provide connections to Pau and surrounding areas. Its single terminal offers free Wi-Fi, a shop, snack bars and practical passenger services.
