Dunkerque-Les Moëres Airfield is a small general aviation aerodrome located in Ghyvelde, near the Belgian border in the Nord department of northern France. Serving light aircraft, flight training, and recreational flying, it occupies the low-lying polderland characteristic of the Dunkirk coastal plain. The airfield plays a modest but steady role in the regional light aviation community of the Hauts-de-France region.
- General Aviation Terminal — A basic single facility handling light aircraft arrivals, departures, and local club operations.
- Private car or taxi from Dunkirk city centre (approximately 15 km)
- Bicycle access via local rural roads through Ghyvelde
- Car rental available in Dunkirk town
- Novotel Dunkerque
- Ibis Dunkerque Centre
- Holiday Inn Express Dunkerque
The airfield itself has minimal on-site catering, typically limited to a small clubhouse with basic refreshments for pilots and visitors. The nearby town of Dunkirk offers a wider range of restaurants, brasseries, and cafés serving traditional northern French and Flemish cuisine. Ghyvelde village has limited dining options, so visitors are advised to plan meals in Dunkirk or the surrounding area.
- Contact the local aero club in advance, as the airfield operates on limited hours and may not be staffed at all times.
- The surrounding polderland is prone to coastal winds and low mist; check local weather carefully before flying.
- Cross-border proximity to Belgium means customs considerations may apply for certain flight operations.
- A visit to the historic Dunkirk beaches and WWII memorials is worthwhile given the airfield's proximity to the coast.
