Flying in Nantes: the local context
The Nantes-Atlantique CTR spreads over the south-west of the city and covers much of the metropolitan area: flights there require a protocol with the airport, while the dense historic centre falls under the built-up-area scenario with notification to the Loire-Atlantique prefecture. The hospital helipad on the Île de Nantes and the Airbus facilities in Bouguenais call for extra care.
The Nantes market is among the most dynamic in western France: the Île de Nantes regeneration and creative district, shipyards and industry along the lower Loire, Euronantes office developments, Muscadet vineyards at the city gates and a distinctive heritage — the Dukes' castle, the Machines de l'île — highly photogenic from above.
