“billi” is being modernised, while remaining true to the business model that has succeeded in attracting travellers thanks to its low-cost offering.

Since going into service in 2010, “billi”, France’s first new-build terminal devoted to low-cost airlines, has met with continual success, attracting both passengers and airline companies. To ensure flights and passengers are welcomed in the best possible conditions, the Airport Management Company has decided to give the terminal a complete overhaul with a whole new construction project. The perfectly controlled investment budget is being devoted to the terminal’s operational performance, while maintaining an advantageous business model which is attractive to airlines and passengers alike.

It is expected that in 2023, nearly two thirds of all travellers at Bordeaux Airport will be arriving or departing on low-cost flights.

For departing travellers, the security zone was totally reorganised and upgraded in 2018.

From 2019, the extension of the check-in area will make it possible to install a fully automated airside system for the handling of hold luggage, just behind a plot of grapevines.
