Brive Souillac Airport, officially known as Aéroport de Brive-Vallée de la Dordogne, serves the Corrèze and Lot departments in southwestern France. Opened in its current form in 2010, it replaced the older Brive La Roche airport and was designed to attract low-cost and regional carriers to this rural but tourism-rich area. The airport plays a modest but vital role in connecting the Périgord Noir and Quercy regions to the broader European air network.
