๐Ÿ’ก Connection Tips

Colmar - Houssen Airport (CMR), also known as LFGA, is a key regional facility in the Alsace region of France that primarily serves business aviation, general aviation, and leisure charters. Because CMR does not currently host scheduled commercial passenger flights, 'connecting' through this airport involves private flight operations or transitioning to major commercial hubs such as EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg (EAP) or Strasbourg Airport (SXB). EuroAirport is located approximately 58 km (40 minutes) to the south and provides the most extensive international connection network. For travelers arriving at CMR via private charter and heading to EuroAirport, the most efficient connection is a pre-arranged taxi or private car; alternatively, a FlixBus service links central Colmar directly to the EAP terminal in about 70 minutes. For those using the French rail network, the Colmar railway station is just 1 km from the airport, offering TER train links to Mulhouse and Strasbourg. Within the CMR terminal, facilities are tailored to corporate travelers, featuring VIP lounges and efficient ground handling managed by ADC. It is important to note that customs and immigration services at CMR are available only upon request (O/R) and typically require 24-hour prior notice. Pilots connecting into Colmar should check the latest NOTAMs for the 1,610-meter paved runway and be mindful of the airport's specific operating hours. For visitors with a short layover, the historic Unterlinden Museum and the Alsace Wine Route are conveniently located just minutes from the airfield. Always confirm your ground transport in advance, as on-demand taxi presence at the regional terminal can be limited.
