Covid-19 antigenic testing : only for passengers on KLM flights to Amsterdam

The testing center at Bordeaux Airport now offers free antigenic tests from 9am to 11am (results in 20-30 minutes), EXCLUSIVELY for passengers travelling from KLM to Amsterdam.

Please note: KLM flights to Amsterdam require proof of a PCR test less than 24 hours old (for PCR tests older than 24 hours, an antigen test must also be performed no later than 24 hours before arrival in the Netherlands).

Health measures : the protection of our passengers is our No. 1 priority

In order to protect yourself and others, both passengers and visitors are asked to observe the safety distance of 1 metre and to wear a facemask in any parts of airport terminal buildings as well as on any airport buses and shuttle.

All passengers must wear a single-use surgical-type mask (FFP1, FFP2 or FFP3) upon boarding. (Decree n°2020-860 of 10 July 2020 - article 11 paragraph IV).

Chantier 3 / billi

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.

Chantier 3 / billi

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.
