Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
It is a perfect match for an airport in between smaller airports (INN) and large busy airports (LHR). It would have easter eggs such as the TGV airport station, it has daily widebody 777 and A350 operations by Emirates and cargo operations, a beautiful reworked Terminal 1, and also a big base for Air France, EasyJet, Transavia, and Volotea. It is also the second largest cargo hub in France.
