Rennes St Jaques

RE: Rennes St Jaques

yeh i’ve driven past this area about 5 times though i’ve never noticed the airport. i’ve seen an add for air bretange and it was one of them.

ahh yes from where i am its easy, acouple of miles to dover, cheap ferry or chunnel ticket, fill the car with fuel (you’ve then “payed” for your crossings – its that cheap), then buy loads of fags – your profit, then get as much beer, wine and spirtis as you can get in you car or van. thats a sum up of local life round here – you’ll never see so many rent-a-vans than at dover for the cheeapest (nighttime) sailing – wall to wall rent-a-vans.

RE: Rennes St Jaques

I will replie on the forum instead of emailing you,others might want to know about the airport.I have seen Rennes St.Jaques when i have travelled down the motorway from the port in St.Malo.Unfortnatly i have never been to it though.Brit air,Flandre air,Air bretagne,Air littoral and a few other regional airlines operate into there as well as an occasioanol charter from Euralair.There are destinations all over france as well as LCY with an AF ATR 42.
There are 2 other airports around the Bretagne area which have civil aviation traffic,Dinard and St.Brieuc.Dinard has flights to Jersey,guernsey with aurigny trislanders which is only a 20 minute flight.Ryanair operate a 737-200 from Standsted as well.
St.Brieuc in recent years has lost a lot of passengers,the only airline i am aware of operating there is air Bretagne which operates to,Jersey,Nantes and Orly with Bech 1900C’s.
Due to the very busy ferry port of St.Malo being very close to these airports,passenger services have not really taken off,most people prefer to take there cars on the boat and stock up with all the wine and french food.
