Civil Airfield Verdun Sommedieue (LFGW)

IFR and VFR operations are possible at Verdun (LFGW) with no PPR required. The asphalt runway is long and in good condition. There is no tower or flight information service on site; position reports are made in French via auto-information. No landing fees are charged.

A Total self-service fuel station is available and generally requires a Total Carnet for payment, though assistance from other pilots may be possible if you do not have a card. There are no tie-downs available for parking.

The airfield is about 9 km from Verdun city. Taxis can be difficult to obtain, especially for trips from the airfield to the city, and taxi fares are relatively high. Example: taxi about €30. Cycling is possible but involves significant hills; walking is not practical due to distance.

The on-field restaurant building appears derelict and is often closed, though it has operated intermittently in the past and may host occasional events. The city of Verdun offers historical sites and war memorials, with main attractions 5–8 km northeast of the center.

A small restricted area (LF-R) lies just north of the main war cemetery northeast of Verdun and should be noted during arrival or departure. No customs or immigration facilities are mentioned.
