Welcome to the Bordeaux FIR!

The team is delighted to welcome you to the 100 airports and aerodromes scattered across the 160,000 km² of our FIR. Here, we find ourselves between the sea, mountains, plains, islands, and cities.

Among these airports are the famous Toulouse-Blagnac and Bordeaux-Mérignac, both in the top 10 in France. But wait, that's not all! We also have a string of regional airfields that are perfect for beginners or those who want to brush up on the basics of flying. We're talking about Limoges Bellegarde (LFBL), Poitiers-Biard (LFBI), Pau-Pyrénées (LFBP), Biarritz (LFBZ), and many others that are there, ready to welcome you for an unforgettable flight.

So don't hesitate! Whether you're a VFR enthusiast in search of freedom or an IFR fanatic looking for challenges, we're sure to have an airfield in our Bordeaux FIR that will capture your interest.

If you have a question, a suggestion, or need ATC coverage for training or an exam, we're here to help.

And if you're new to air traffic control, let us guide you to the training department. You can train in Bordeaux (LFBD), Toulouse (LFBO), Pau (LFBP), and even Biarritz (LFBZ). We promise, it's worth the detour!

We can't wait to see you. Whatever side of the microphone you're on, you'll receive a warm welcome.

Every year, we organize a FIR meeting: a special opportunity to review the past year and share the whole team's outlook for the future.
