(postcard aerial view of the airport of Deauville Saint-Gatien) History The airport was created in an initiative of Eugene Colas, then mayor of Deauville. It was inaugurated in 1931. It has long been a business airport, with a dominant private flights. Some summer routes were then created, particularly with Nice. The airport finally opened for tourist charter flights.
For a time, the airport has been studied as a third Paris airport but its distance from the capital (200 km) and poor access (highway as the track closest to lie both in the valley about ten miles from the airport and two hours from Paris) make it now appears that this option was rejected.
