Marseille Provence Airport, officially known as Aéroport Marseille Provence, is the second-busiest airport in France outside the Paris region. Located near the town of Marignane in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, it serves the greater Marseille–Aix-en-Provence metropolitan area and the broader Provence region. The airport handles both scheduled and charter traffic, connecting passengers to destinations across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. It serves as an important hub for leisure travel to the French Riviera and Provence, as well as business travel to Marseille, France's second-largest city. In recent years the airport has undergone significant expansion and modernization projects to accommodate growing passenger numbers, which have regularly exceeded 8–9 million annually in pre-pandemic years.
