๐ข Terminal Information
LโAlpe dโHuez Altiport (AHZ, LFHU) is a mountain airfield serving the ski resort above BourgโdโOisans in the French Alps. It features a short, sloped runway and operates primarily for general aviation, helicopter transfers, and seasonal charter activity rather than scheduled airline service. A small chaletโstyle terminal/FBO sits beside the apron and provides pilot/passenger services.\n\nThe layout is compact. Parking is next to the terminal, with a 1โ2 minute walk to the lobby. From the terminal to parked aircraft on the apron is a short, escorted walkโusually under a minute depending on stand position. There are no buses or jet bridges; all access is groundโlevel.\n\nThere is no commercial TSAโstyle screening and no onโsite immigration/customs. International arrivals must route via a designated airport of entry elsewhere in France or the EU and reposition. Mountain operations are weatherโsensitive; winter conditions, wind, and visibility can delay or curtail flights.\n\nAmenities include a pilot lounge/briefing space, restrooms, and WiโFi when staffed; food and retail are in the resort village nearby. Helicopter services and winter support (deโicing as available) can be arranged through the operator. Ground transport includes resort shuttles, preโbooked taxis, and rental cars obtained in the valley or resort per arrangement.\n\nAccessibility is stepโfree between parking and the terminal; staff can assist as needed. Family facilities are limited at the altiportโtravelers should bring baby supplies and snacks, and plan for alpine weather when moving between buildings and aircraft.

๐ข Terminal Information
Auxerre-Branches Aerodrome (AUF) serves the city of Auxerre and the surrounding Yonne department, nestled in the heart of France's renowned Burgundy wine region. This general aviation airport primarily supports private pilots, flight training, and corporate aircraft, providing essential air access for local businesses and tourism, particularly for the wine industry. It does not host scheduled commercial passenger services; travelers typically utilize larger regional airports or Paris for commercial flights. The airport features a modest administrative building that acts as the control center and Fixed Base Operator (FBO) facility.\n\nOperational procedures at AUF are typical of a small aerodrome. There are no security checkpoints, baggage handling systems, or traditional boarding gates. Pilots communicate directly with the ground staff for clearances and information. The airport operates under visual flight rules (VFR) for most operations, with instrument approaches also available. It is a quiet, efficient facility designed for the convenience of general aviation users, offering quick turnaround times for private aircraft. Due to its location, private flights often link to other European general aviation airfields or larger French hubs.\n\nAmenities at Auxerre-Branches Aerodrome are limited to those supporting aviation activities. The FBO typically provides aircraft fueling, a pilot lounge, and flight planning resources. While there are no on-site restaurants or extensive retail shops within the terminal, the airport is a short drive from Auxerre, which offers a wide array of dining, accommodation, and cultural attractions. During the busy wine season, it is advisable to pre-arrange ground transportation as local taxi demand can be high. The aerodrome provides a picturesque and convenient gateway to the beautiful Burgundy countryside.
