Location

Saint-Nazaire, France

Saint-Nazaire-Montoir Airport (IATA: SNR, ICAO: LFRZ) is a regional airport located in Montoir-de-Bretagne, near the port city of Saint-Nazaire in the Loire-Atlantique department of western France. It serves both civil aviation and significant industrial and freight operations tied to the nearby port and Airbus manufacturing facilities. The airport handles limited scheduled passenger traffic and is notably used for the transport of large Airbus aircraft components, as oversized fuselage and wing sections are shipped through the adjacent port and processed in the area. Its strategic location near one of France's major shipbuilding and aerospace industrial zones gives it an important logistics role beyond typical passenger services. While Nantes Atlantique Airport serves as the main commercial hub for the broader Loire region, Saint-Nazaire-Montoir provides a complementary function for regional connectivity, general aviation, and industrial aviation activity.

Terminals

The airport has a modest passenger terminal suited to regional and charter operations rather than large-scale commercial traffic.

Getting to & from

The airport is accessible by road via local routes connecting to Saint-Nazaire city centre, approximately 5 kilometres to the southwest.

Airlines here
