The major wildfires affecting the Gironde region continue to impact Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport. While the airport is now open after a temporary closure earlier this week, air traffic remains disrupted and several flights may still be delayed.
The flames, fanned by the heat and wind, have led to the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people in the Bordeaux area. Authorities are continuing their efforts to protect populated areas and strategic infrastructure, while several thousand firefighters are mobilized.
The airport advises passengers to regularly check their airline’s information before departure. Difficulties accessing the airport, particularly due to the suspension of some public transport services, also suggest that travelers allow extra time to reach the airport.
