CHAMBÉRY SAVOIE
CONTRACT RENEWED FOR A FURTHER 16 YEARS
In May 2013, the Savoie Departmental Council renewed its contract with VINCI Airports to manage the Chambéry Savoie Airport for a period of 16 years. The airport handles an annual 217,000 passengers. Work on an airport upgrade costing around €10 million will start in mid-2014. Transavia opened a new route to Paris-Orly, with two flights per week, in December 2013. It offers Paris-area customers an alternative to taking the train to the Alpine resorts during the ski season. Flybe also began operating a weekly flight between Chambéry and Cardiff during the winter months. The airport served a total of 230,000 passengers during the 2013-2014 season, a 7% increase from 2012-2013.

VINCI Airports won the contract to manage and operate Poitiers Biard Airport from January 1, 2013. This was the company’s tenth French concession. The goal is to increase the airport’s traffic to boost the region’s economy and its tourist trade. A refurbishment program has been undertaken to provide high-quality service and premium comfort for the approximately 100,000 passengers served every year.
