nectarine Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I've heard that the airport may be closed due to some works to the runway. According to a local forum, a car hire company is saying they've been officially told that Bergerac is closed from late January through to March but no precise dates. There's nothing on Bergerac Airport's official website, and Ryanair/Flybe, etc., continue to show availability for flights on that date.Does anybody have any further information? And if I booked a flight with Ryanair, etc., and the works did start, does anybody know what Ryanair would do, e.g. just refund you, arrange something else,?

suein56 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 [quote user="nectarine"]... does anybody know what Ryanair would do, e.g. just refund you, arrange something else,?[/quote]Not sure about Ryanair but last October when some controllers went on strike at Bergerac the flights in didn't seem to be cancelled but were redirected via Bordeaux and other airports the clients being then bussed to Bergerac. Don't know what happened to flights out.How about emailing the airport authorities?Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Looks like the work is to take place between..."9 janvier 2012 et 9 mars 2012 pour le lot 1, 27 février et 23 mars pour le lot 2."Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiseau Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I'm sure the airlines would deliver you somewhere else - not quite as convenient maybe.When La Rochelle was closed for works a few years back, Ryanair flights from London went to Rochefort.Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cendrillon Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Our girls also flew into Rochefort airport which is just a bit nearer to us so more convenient.there has been quite serious discussion about Rochefort airport taking over from La Rochelle but that seems to have gone quiet.

sid Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 It was more convenient for us too, quieter roads, but the flights ended pretty quickly after only about 2 or 3 months, during which time the carpark was extended and given a coat of tarmac and the portacabin buildings were extended (wow!)

NickP Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Trouble is; if RyanAir bus you to a different airport how much extra will they charge for a seat on the bus. [Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
