Dear Val

This will be important to readers picking up and dropping people off or using Toulouse airport over Christmas. It was sent to me by a friend who works for Airbus. Ginny

Enhanced Security Measures at Toulouse, Blagnac Airport

In light of the current state of emergency in France, enhanced security measures have been put in place at Toulouse, Blagnac Airport. These measures will have the following direct impact on passengers travelling to and from destinations outside of France.Border Control:
Border controls are restored for travellers arriving or departing French territory. All passengers are requested to arrive early at the airport and ensure they have a valid national identity card or passport with them. With international border control reinforced, waiting time may increase, therefore extra time should be allowed for going through to departures. Passengers should note that departures, for destinations outside of France, is only accessible via Hall D (gates 40 - 55) and no longer via Hall A, B or C.
Passenger set-down:
Passenger set-down on the departures viaduct is now limited to the zone in front of Hall B. Passengers are asked to use the Express Car Parks instead; Arrêt Minute and P0.
Access to this area for buses and minibuses/shuttles is now prohibited, set-down for passengers will be in front of arrivals Hall D. Taxi access to the departures viaduct is also prohibited. Taxi set-down will be in the Express Car Parks.
Waiting time is now limited to 30 minutes for buses, minibuses/shuttles and taxis.
