Airport Brest Bretagne (LFRB) IFR

Long paved runway and modern terminal. IFR and VFR operations supported, with ILS and GPS approaches available; H24 operations. ATC is friendly and efficient. Parking for general aviation is typically at the Aero Club Brest Finistère at the eastern end of the field; advance coordination with both the aeroclub and airport operations is recommended, as both must approve, and you may be asked about this before arrival. The aeroclub is usually open 9–17; outside these hours, parking options are limited to maintenance hangars or require handling.

Landing fees are low for aircraft up to 2t, payable via Aerops or at the ops desk; parking at the aeroclub is free. Example: landing fee about €10. Handling via the main terminal costs about €50–60 and may involve a minibus transfer. Payment for services can be made by card.

AVGAS and Jet A1 are available self-serve with BP or Total cards; a fueler can assist if needed. Maintenance facilities exist, including a Cessna Caravan shop and an IFR/helicopter FTO. Car rental desks are on site, sometimes offering aircrew discounts. Uber to the city costs about €30.

Customs for non-Schengen flights requires 24-hour PPR, but contact can be unreliable; see AIP/NOTAM for procedures. The airport is generally welcoming and suitable for non-commercial GA use, though walking distances between parking areas and the terminal can be long (up to half a mile).
