Cherbourg – Maupertus Airport

Cherbourg – Maupertus Airport or Aéroport de Cherbourg - Maupertus (IATA: CER, ICAO: LFRC) is an airport located 11 km east of Cherbourg-Octeville, between Maupertus-sur-Mer and Gonneville. These are all communes of the Manche département in the Basse-Normandie région of France. The airport is managed by SNC-Lavalin Airports (subsidiary of the large Canadian engineering firm SNC-Lavalin) since 1 October 2009.

It has one runway designated 10/28 measuring at 2440 metres in length with asphalt surface. There are six bays, numbered N1 to N6. Until early 2008 there was one scheduled flight a day from Paris to Jersey via Cherbourg although this has now been withdrawn.

No schedule commercial flights served at present, as Twin Jet dropped services to Jersey and Paris Orly followed by Chalair and also HOP! (who had taken over the service to Paris), which both failed to make links to Paris profitable.

Charter flights occasionally operate to and from the airport.
