Formalites and assistance

We want to ensure that this priority is taken into account at every point on your journey through the airport, and in all the activities carried out by our colleagues. This is why we have put in place exceptional measures in coordination with the national health authorities so that you can travel safely from Bordeaux Airport.

The billi terminal reopened on June 21 in order to operate certain flights of easyJet and Ryanair. The shops will also be reopened, in particular to offer food and beverage services to passengers.

We nevertheless strongly recommend that you put these products in your hold luggage. The quantity of products you take with you must not exceed reasonable amounts for personal consumption.
