Airport Dijon Longvic (LFSD) IFR

LFSD is suitable for general aviation, offering both VFR and IFR operations with friendly, professional staff. The airport features long runways and extensive taxiways, with GA parking located some distance from the main terminal; walking times from parking to the terminal can be considerable, especially in summer. The airport is uncontrolled but supports IFR arrivals and departures; procedures and ATS availability can vary, so checking AIP/NOTAM is advised. Customs require advance notification using a specific form not publicly available; a minimum of five hours’ notice is sometimes enforced, and failure to comply may result in significant fines.

Facilities include a modern, clean GA lounge with complimentary coffee, drinks, and snacks for a small donation. Refueling (AvGas and Jet A1) is available via self-service pump or fuel truck, though AvGas prices are higher than average for France. Maintenance support has been available in some cases. The terminal offers toilets, WiFi, and vending machines; food options are limited to snacks unless the restaurant is open. The airport is generally quiet on weekends, but access to facilities may be restricted if staff are unavailable.

Ground transport options include taxis (typically 17–30 € to the city center, 20–25 minutes), Uber, and bus connections; however, bus service may be infrequent or start late in the day. Car hire (Europcar, Hertz) is possible with advance booking.

Landing fees for non-commercial GA are generally low to medium; examples include landing about €20 and combined landing plus one hour parking about €20. Parking fees vary by duration but are typically modest for short stays; longer stays can become expensive due to hourly or daily rates. Occasional handling surcharges may apply on Sundays or for specific services.

Customs clearance requires advance notice using their form; procedures vary—see AIP/NOTAM. Overall, LFSD offers efficient service and good facilities for GA pilots seeking access to Dijon and Burgundy.
