In January, TotalEnergies Aviation renewed a number of contracts, and even welcomed several new ones to its network of general aviation airfields in France. Here's an overview...
Welcome to the TotalEnergies Aviation network :
Hautes Alpes: Gap Tallard and Montdauphin Saint Crépin
Since 3 January 2024, TotalEnergies Aviation has been supplying two new general aviation airfields in the Hautes-Alpes (05): Gap Tallard and Montdauphin Saint Crépin.
The Gap-Tallard airfield, managed by the Hautes-Alpes department, is renowned beyond France's borders. Thanks to its exceptional environment, its wide range of aeronautical activities and its incomparable flying conditions, it is open to public air traffic.
The Mont-Dauphin-Saint-Crépin aerodrome is ideally located, offering exceptional weather conditions for gliding, with a winch for easy glider take-off. As well as attracting many aeroplane pilots, the airfield is home to a helicopter company.
We supply both airfields with conventional aviation fuels.
The contract is for a period of four years. The recognition of our expertise, coupled with our differentiating offer, has enabled us to enter into these new partnerships.
They continue in our French network :

The Villemarie La Teste-de-Buch aerodrome, inaugurated in 1948, records around 40,000 movements a year. It is used for leisure and tourism activities (light aviation, microlight aircraft, helicopters, parachuting and model aircraft).
