It’s the home base of Air Corsica and it is the largest of the 4 airports on the island of Corsica. A Corsican airport would provide an airport for between BRI and the future ZRH, on a lovely island in the Med. Also perfect for connections to a future Bordeaux or PMI for B class routes that aren’t too long and unrealistic, such as the ATR.

Air Corsica has this as it’s home base with Air France, easyJet and Volotea all having a large seasonal presence at the airport (Quite a similar situation to Bordeaux but there it’s more permanent).
