Most people fly into Toulouse and drive to Albi, but private jet charter at Albi Le Séquestre puts you at a small city-owned airfield on the Tarn instead. It works best for light and mid-size aircraft, with a 1,560-metre runway that jets can use subject to performance.
The airfield shares its site with the Albi motor-racing circuit, which gives it a character all its own.
Because it is a small field with limited staffed hours, the planning matters more than usual, and that is where Charter-A comes in. Charter-A checks the runway, the staffed hours and the notice periods for you, so you know what to expect.
