On the 15th April 2008 La Giraudiere visited the airport to inquire about the flights and what facilities were in place.  The flights were as listed above. The air ryan desk was maned or rather ladied by a delightful French lady who unfortunately spoke little English or at least made little attempt to converse in English.

We inquired what bus services were available for passengers or to be more exact how someone arriving at Angouleme airport would be transferred to say Angouleme Station and her reply was only by taxi. There is a taxi rank at the airport but unfortunately there were no taxis I have also passed by when flights were due to arrive and again we foundno taxis so be ware if you are arriving and have no one to meet you.

 You are advised to reserve your taxi by telephoning 06 08 31 14 97 this umber was provided by the nice ryan air lady We have called it but only a answer machine replied.

 HIRE or RENT  a CAR at the airport. There are two porta cabins marked Hertz and Eurocar but again none was there to give me information. The nice French lady who I spoke to earlier assured me that there would be if you had reserved a car so be sure to make a reservation for your hire vehicles prior to arriving.

OVERNIGHT HOTEL The nearest hotel is exactly 7km away from the airport we clocked it in our car quite a long walk with baggage be sure to book your Hotel prior to your departure as 7km walk with your luggage can be very long if only to find the hotels are booked up

In general the airport is a very good looking airport and for sure more of the needed logistics will come into place as the airport expands. Already Angouleme airport is much more organized than say Bergerac for a start there is ample free parking available. There is an information desk and there is a well stocked bar which also offers snacks and meals.
