Biarritz Pays Basque Airport (BIQ/LFBZ) is a regional international airport located in the seaside city of Biarritz, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of southwestern France. It serves the broader Basque Country area, including nearby cities such as Bayonne and San Sebastián just across the Spanish border. The airport handles primarily leisure traffic, with strong seasonal demand driven by tourism, surfing culture, and the Basque region's international appeal. It connects the area to major French cities and several European destinations. Designated as a military base as well as a civil airport, it operates as an aerodrome open to civil traffic under the French civil aviation authority (DGAC). Its relatively modest size makes it easy to navigate for travelers.
