Location
Périgueux/Bassillac, France
Périgueux-Bassillac Airport (IATA: PGX, ICAO: LFBX) is a small regional airport located in Bassillac, approximately 7 kilometres east of Périgueux, the prefecture of the Dordogne department in southwestern France. It serves the broader Périgord region, an area known for its prehistoric sites, medieval villages, and gastronomy. The airport handles limited scheduled and charter traffic, with seasonal connections to French and European destinations.
