Rodez–Aveyron Airport (; French: Aéroport de Rodez–Aveyron) is a growing local airport, located on the territory of the commune of Salles-la-Source approximately 10 km outside the centre of Rodez, the departmental capital of Aveyron, France. It has one international runway of 2,100 m in length, as well as a second, smaller runway of 800 m. It is a commodious airport for reaching the departments of Aveyron, Tarn, Tarn-et-Garonne, Lot, Hérault, Gard, Lozère and Cantal.
