robert isaac Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Ourt French neighbours tell us that there will soon be direct flights from UK to Angouleme. Does anyone know anything about this? If it is true, which airline is planning to open this route, when, and from which UK airport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert isaac Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 PS there seem to be posts on this subject last year, suggested that it may be Ryanair and starting this autumn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayring Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 There was an article in Charente Libre about this last summer. Ryan Air was hoping to start flights this autumn, the problem I seem to remember was the runway needs extending before Ryan Air could use the airport and no one knew where the money to do this was going to come from.I assume they would fly from Stanstead.

saddie Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 According to my sister who lives close to Brie which is the airport all work has stopped on the extension. Probably run out of funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayring Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Update on flights to Angoulême in today's Charente Libre. The local chambers of commerce have agreed that Brie-Champniers airport should be the base for a budget airline flying to London and will be renamed Angoulême-Cognac airport.The runway will need to be extended by 50 metres at cost of €1.2 million.No news on when flights might start.
