Dijon-Longvic Air Base is one of the oldest of the Armée de l'Air,
being established in 1914, having origins beginning in September
1910 as a civil airdrome. It has been active for over 95 years,
through both 20th Century World Wars, the Cold War, and numerous
crises. The military will withdraw from the base under budget cuts
announced in October 2014.
Operating as a joint civilian base, it is also a commercial
airport. As present, there are no scheduled passenger flights from
Dijon Air Base.
