About Vichy-Charmeil Airport
Vichy-Charmeil Airport is a small regional aerodrome serving Vichy, a well-known spa town in the Allier department of central France. It sits in the commune of Charmeil, about 5 km north-northwest of the city centre, and mainly handles private and general aviation traffic.
The airport is equipped with a single runway of about 2,200 m, allowing it to receive a range of aircraft, including large civil and military aircraft for special flights. Rather than scheduled commercial services, it welcomes private flights from across France and abroad, along with flying clubs, flight training and regular aeronautical events.
A compact terminal building supports passenger processing, with customs available for international private flights, AVGAS fuel services and an on-site Météo France weather station. Its close position to Vichy makes transfers into the town quick, with taxis, private transfers and rental cars offering flexible onward travel.
As a small gateway to the Auvergne region, the airport provides convenient access to Vichy's spa district, hotels and business locations, as well as the wider Allier countryside.
