stripeyman Posted 17 October , 2022 Share Posted 17 October , 2022 I am thinking of an alternative way to get to the Somme. There is Picardy Airport, Meulte to us Formunites, despite searching the web I cannot find if it is possible to get there. Any clues ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin DavidOwen Posted 17 October , 2022 Admin Share Posted 17 October , 2022 Looks like it would have to be a private charter https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_–_Picardie_Airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaz Posted 18 October , 2022 Share Posted 18 October , 2022 the two Northern ones I know are Le Touquet and Paris-Beauvais, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripeyman Posted 18 October , 2022 Author Share Posted 18 October , 2022 Private charter ! That would break the bank. However it is worth investigating.... Chaz, Beauvais is 8o miles from Albert by road, Le Touquet I have not looked at yet, but I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert airport is mainly used for freight, there was talk many years ago of flights there from the UK, but nothing ever came of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaz Posted 20 October , 2022 Share Posted 20 October , 2022 I was only suggesting Beauvais as closest civil airport, Frevent has an airfield but I suspect for either crop sprayers or radio control flying. BVA is the closest one according to flight planners. Shame Abbeville isnt still working , although a certain Herr Galland might come to meet you. I believe Picardy was going to be tried by Fly2 or one of the smaller firms. Valenciennes-Denain Airport is in the North of France Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
