Calvi Sainte Catherine Airport guide

Calvi Sainte Catherine Airport (ICAO LFKC) sits about 6 km southeast of Calvi on the north-west coast of Corsica, at an elevation of 64 m. It is one of four commercial airports on the island and the gateway to the Balagne region.

The US Air Force built the airfield in 1945. The French State bought it in 1956, and the Bastia and Haute-Corse Chamber of Commerce and Industry now runs it. A terminal building went up in 1958 and was extended in 1995 to a capacity of 500,000 passengers, then extended again in 2005 to handle checked baggage and security screening.

Traffic is seasonal and peaks in summer. Public service routes to Paris Orly, Marseille and Nice carried 262,993 passengers in 2024, and seasonal services link Calvi with Switzerland, Austria and Germany. International traffic reached 72,225 passengers that year. A business and general aviation centre opened in 2009, and the airport recorded more than 2,900 business and general aviation movements in 2024.
