About EDEIS Aeroport Annecy
EDEIS Aeroport Annecy operates the FBO at Annecy Mont-Blanc Airport, a compact field in the Rhone-Alpes region of France that sits just 13 minutes by car from the town of Annecy and within an hour of several major Alpine ski resorts. The airport is part of the EDEIS network, which manages dozens of regional airports across France.
The facility's most notable infrastructure is a hangar complex capable of accommodating aircraft up to the Bombardier Global 7500, with short, medium, and long-term storage options available. This is significant for a regional Alpine airport, as many comparable fields in the mountains are limited to smaller aircraft types. The hangar space is managed through Hangar CRM, which rents places by the day, month, or year.
Passenger services include a VIP lounge within the airport terminal, baggage handling, and concierge support for arranging onward transportation. Jetex Flight Support provides FBO services at the airport through a partnership with the EDEIS network, handling fuel coordination, ground services, and trip planning.
The airport's location makes it a practical gateway for winter visitors heading to resorts like La Clusaz, Le Grand-Bornand, and Megeve, all reachable within 40 to 60 minutes by road. In summer, Lake Annecy draws visitors for water sports, cycling, and hiking in the surrounding Aravis and Bauges mountain ranges. Chamonix and Mont Blanc are about 90 minutes away by car.
For charter passengers, Annecy offers a quieter and more personal alternative to Geneva or Lyon. The airport sees considerably less traffic, which means faster ground handling, easier parking, and a more relaxed arrival process. The runway accommodates a range of business jets, though operators should confirm specific aircraft performance requirements given the Alpine terrain.
