Pilot Comments for LFKJ
Timo
Overall everything was fine. Landing fee and parking for 3 nights for an SEP: 90 Euro. So rather on the expensive side.
IFR arrival and departure were uneventful.
Update April 2026
Still all very straightforward. Price-wise we were at 180 Euro for an IFR approach (shortly before HR*), including lighting, parking for 5 nights and handling.
Rather annoying: one day before departure a NOTAM was published stating that no AVGAS was available. We had received a confirmed BP Fuel release days earlier, but that did not help, so we had to go to Figari (LFKF) to refuel.

Just under 48 hours before planned arrival, notified customs and Ajaccio OPS by email. Then 24 hours beforehand contacted Casavia, as there was no reply from OPS and myhandling mobile doesn’t work at all (and touchngo no longer functions).
Casavia (Richard) was there for arrival and departure (notified by phone shortly beforehand). Exit/entry directly at the gate to the rental cars (very convenient at RentaCar).
Departure also without customs—they apparently show up only rarely, as they are not on the field.
Invoice €105 for 1400 MTOW, 4 days parking, incl. handling, which was worth the money.
Avgas with BP Card for €2.24/L self-service.
ATC were friendly and helpful on both arrival and departure.

Ajaccio works very well for GA. I was there twice in one week. The staff member responsible for GA is very friendly but speaks little English. He takes you to the terminal in his bus.
For departure, you have to report beneath the tower (at the vehicle access gate to the apron) and, after a quick security screening, you’ll be picked up again by bus and taken to the GA apron. Payment is made directly on the bus by credit card.
Cost: €60 for a BE36 including one overnight.
Fuel: AVGAS via BP Carnet at the self-serve pump, currently €1.89/l.
At the airport, right across from the terminal, there are several car rental companies.

Ajaccio (LFKJ) requires PPR for all GA, typically via the myhandling website, which is described as complex and sometimes unreliable; email to casavia.aja@wanadoo.fr or ag.casavia@casavia.fr is possible, but responses may redirect to myhandling. For international arrivals, 48-hour advance notice to customs (ajaccio@douane.finances.gouv.fr) is recommended; customs officers are rarely present on site and procedures can be inconsistent, with occasional requests for GenDec forms even within Schengen. IFR and VFR arrivals are both supported; visual approaches along the bay are scenic but require attention to published procedures and possible circling to land on RWY 20. Slot coordination may apply for IFR departures.
Handling is compulsory for GA and included in most fee examples. Fees for landing, handling, and parking typically range from about €70 to €110 for 1–4 nights with single-engine piston aircraft since 2021; longer stays or higher MTOW can result in much higher charges, up to €620 for a week. Example: landing, handling, and four days’ parking about €110. Payment is usually by invoice or on-site by card.
AVGAS (100LL) is available self-service with BP card at the GA apron; technical issues occasionally disrupt supply, so confirm availability in advance if needed. Jet A1 is also available. Fuel can sometimes be paid by credit card if no BP card is held.
The GA apron is spacious with tie-downs; parking space can be limited in summer—advance reservation is advised. Facilities at the GA area are basic: a small office and toilets (sometimes described as substandard). The main terminal offers car rental desks and a delicatessen shop. Hotels “Fesch” and “Hotel du Golfe” are mentioned as good options in town.
Access between the GA apron and terminal/city is controlled; exit/entry is via a gate near car rentals, often requiring a call to Casavia (+33 4 95 23 56 11). Taxis to the city center cost about €20–30; the city shuttle bus stops about 150m from the GA gate but costs €10 per person and does not reach the old town directly—taxi is generally preferred. The city beach lies within a short walk of the airport.
ATC service is friendly and helpful; English proficiency varies among ground staff. The airport environment is scenic but surrounded by high terrain on three sides—study approach procedures carefully, especially for IFR arrivals or when RWY 20 is active (VPT approach or right base may be required). Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
Overall, Ajaccio offers efficient operations for non-commercial GA with some administrative complexity around PPR and customs, moderate-to-high fees, reliable fuel when available, basic facilities, good ground transport options, and a scenic setting close to town and beaches.
