Angers Loire has no scheduled airline flights at all, which makes private jet charter at Angers Loire a quiet proposition. The field is given over to business, medical, military and general aviation, and light and mid-size jets use its 1,800-metre runway, with an on-site business-aviation terminal for passengers.
The airport sits north-north-east of Angers at Marcé, in the quiet countryside of the Pays de la Loire.
If your plans take you to the Loire valley and you want a small airfield rather than a busy hub, this is one to ask Charter-A about.

Why fly to Angers
Angers is an old Loire town with a great dark-stone château and the Anjou vineyards around it. Nantes, Tours and the valley's Renaissance châteaux are all within the region, and Saumur's wine country lies upriver. Private travellers come for vineyard visits, family occasions and regional business. A small airfield with its own business terminal suits that kind of visit well.
