Airport Nancy Essey (LFSN) IFR

LFSN (Nancy-Essey) offers straightforward VFR and IFR operations with AFIS providing clear English communication; payment for landing and parking is handled via the Aerops/AirOps app, with no need for in-person interaction. The airfield features a 1700 m paved runway and self-service fuel available during operating hours, accepting major credit cards; a Total card is required outside business hours, but staff can assist if needed. The on-field restaurant "Les Têtes Brulées" is highly recommended, open for lunch daily (12:00–14:00) and dinner on Friday and Saturday (19:00–21:00); reservations are advised on weekends. Example: landing and parking about €60 for three days.

Ground transport to Nancy city center is primarily by bus, with the stop 600–800 meters from the airfield; buses are free on weekends and tickets can be purchased onboard at other times. Uber is available and typically arrives within minutes, though availability may be limited on weekends; taxis are often difficult to arrange. Walking to the city center takes about 45 minutes.

Access to the terminal and apron is via a code based on the radio frequency. The airfield has ample parking, WiFi in the terminal (code: NANCYESSEY), and a PC for self-briefing. When approaching from the west, be aware of complex military airspace; consult Strasbourg FIS for current status. During lunch breaks, radio may be French-only as per NOTAMs.

LFSN is well-suited for general aviation visits to Nancy, offering reliable infrastructure and convenient access to a UNESCO-listed city center.
