Albert – Picardie Airport (French: Aéroport d'Albert - Picardie), sometimes referred to as Albert – Picardy Airport, is an airport serving Albert, a commune of the Somme department in the Picardy (Picardie) region of northern France. The airport is located 4km (02miles) southeast of Albert, in Bray-sur-Somme.
It is primarily used for the transportation of Airbus aircraft parts from the company's factory at Méaulte nearby. The airport's runway is large enough to accommodate Airbus' Beluga, a large cargo aircraft used to courier parts used in the construction of its own commercial jets.
The airport is also home to a flying club, which has a number of light aircraft based at the airfield; and to a society engaging in historic aircraft.
The British low-cost carrier Jet2.com announced and then cancelled a twice-weekly service to the Somme using this airport; flights were to start in April 2009.
On 28 January 2012, plans were unveiled to launch a twice-weekly service to Blackpool International Airport with Danish Air Transport using ATR 72s, however before the flights started, the route was cancelled.
At the end of 2013, a service to Toulouse, Dole and Nice was introduced under the "IGAvion" brand. The flights were operated by Skytaxi with Saab 340 aircraft.
The aerodrome was first created to serve the aircraft factory of Henry Potez, around 1924. The factory (a short distance from the current airport) was later merged, successively, into SNCAN, Nord Aviation, Aerospatiale, and finally Airbus.
The airport resides at an elevation of 364feet above mean sea level. It has one paved runway designated 09/27 which measures 2200mx45mm (7,200feetx148feetm). It also has a parallel unpaved runway with a grass surface measuring 1000mx80mm (3,000feetx260feetm).; it is mainly used by the local glider club.
