Pilot Comments for LFBA
Michael
Highly recommended for an uncomplicated fuel stop.
Excellent aerodrome for a quick fuel stop on flights between Germany and Spain or Portugal. Self-serve fueling is available with a Total-Karte. Without a Total-Karte, check NOTAMs in advance to confirm that handling is available on site. Handling does not incur an extra charge, and the fuel invoice can then be paid by credit card.
Fees are exceptionally low: With a Piper Meridian, approx. 2.3 t, I paid only €7 for the landing. An additional €5 to have the invoice sent to me—saving a trip to the office.
Important: During the lunch break the aerodrome may be without ATC. If you need an IFR clearance, it’s best to obtain it by phone in advance; alternatively, it can be requested airborne after departure.
All in all, a very quick, straightforward, and extremely economical fuel stop. For the Germany–Spain/Portugal route, it’s hard to beat.

Uncomplicated IFR and VFR operations with RNP approach to runway 29; ILS no longer available. Coordination for arrivals and departures is straightforward, with typically low traffic. Customs and border police are available on request, with 48-hour PPR required for customs clearance. Procedures may vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
Avgas is available by card, but BP cards are no longer accepted; assistance from the fire brigade may be needed if you lack a compatible card. Both Avgas and Jet fuel are offered as self-service. No restaurant is nearby. Hangar space is scarce, but parking on asphalt is available.
Example: landing plus two nights parking about €30. Taxi to Agen town center costs about €20.
The airfield is secure and fenced, with friendly staff and a helpful atmosphere. Occasional fog can affect approaches due to the airport’s valley location.
