Dole Tavaux Airport guide

Dole-Jura Airport sits on the communes of Tavaux and Gevry in the Jura department, about halfway between Dijon and Besançon. It is also known as Dole-Tavaux. The A39 motorway interchange is a five-minute drive away, and Dole railway station is 8 km from the airfield.

The airport opened to civil traffic in 1970. Its single asphalt runway, 05/23, is 2,230 m long and 45 m wide. It has high-intensity lighting and a Category 1 ILS on runway 05, and it can take aircraft up to the size of a Boeing 757. A new passenger terminal was inaugurated on 28 June 2023, built for a capacity of 200,000 passengers a year.

Scheduled traffic is low-cost and seasonal. Ryanair flies to Porto, Marrakech and Fès, and Air Corsica serves Ajaccio and Bastia in season. Passenger numbers passed 100,000 a year in 2022 and reached 125,141 in 2023. The airport also handles business aviation, medical flights and holiday charters. Edeis operates it under a public service delegation from the Jura departmental council, which has owned it since 2007.
