Beauvais, France
Beauvais-Tillé Airport (IATA: BVA, ICAO: LFOB) is a regional airport located approximately 85 kilometers north of Paris, near the city of Beauvais in the Oise department of northern France. Despite its distance from the French capital, it is commonly marketed as a Paris airport and serves primarily as a hub for low-cost carriers.
The airport has grown significantly since the 1990s due to the expansion of budget airlines, most notably Ryanair, which uses it as one of its key French bases. Annual passenger numbers have reached several million, making it an important alternative to the larger Parisian airports of Charles de Gaulle and Orly.
The airport is operated by the Syndicat Mixte de l'Aéroport de Beauvais-Tillé and handles predominantly leisure and budget travelers. Its facilities are more modest compared to major international hubs, reflecting its focus on cost-efficient, point-to-point air travel.

The airport operates with a single passenger terminal designed for efficient low-cost carrier throughput.
Getting to & from
Shuttle bus services operated by Transdev and other providers connect Beauvais-Tillé to Paris, with journey times of approximately 75–90 minutes to Porte Maillot.
