Calvi Airport
Calvi Sainte-Catherine airport is six miles east of Calvi, Haute Corse in the north west of Corsica. As a small provincial airport all facilities are within walking distance.
Calvi Airport has very limited facilities – there is a small café and a tabac with a very small selection of magazines, sweets and souvenirs. WCs are directly opposite from the café. There is no pharmacy or cash point or any facility for changing money and there are no duty-free shops at the airport. Please note that Calvi airport requires special pilot training and flights cannot land outside of daylight hours or in windy conditions and flights will be diverted to the larger airport at Bastia if conditions or crewing issues dictate.
