Perpignan–Rivesaltes (Llabanère) Airport is a medium-sized French airport serving Perpignan and the Pyrénées-Orientales from Rivesaltes, about 6 km north of Perpignan city centre. It grew from a military airfield into the region's commercial gateway and remains a compact single-terminal airport with easy access from the A9 motorway. Its position near the Mediterranean coast and the Spanish border makes it a convenient base for Canet-en-Roussillon, the Pyrenees, and Catalan France.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors call it Llabanère when giving directions, and because the terminal is compact, 90 minutes before departure is usually enough for domestic flights except during peak summer periods.
🚖 Getting There
By car, the airport is close to the A9 motorway (Perpignan Nord exit) and has short- and long-stay parking. Taxis wait outside the terminal, and rental car desks are on site. Because public transport is limited, pre-book a taxi or rental car if you arrive late, on a Sunday, or need to reach Canet-en-Roussillon and the coast.
