Caen Carpiquet Airport (IATA: CFR, ICAO: LFRK) is a regional airport serving the city of Caen in the Normandy region of northwestern France. It handles a modest volume of passengers, primarily on domestic and European leisure routes, and serves as an important transport link for the historically significant region. The airport is located at the site of the former Carpiquet aerodrome, which played a pivotal role during the 1944 Normandy campaign in World War II. Today it operates as a civil airport while retaining some general aviation activity. Its proximity to the D-Day beaches makes it a convenient entry point for visitors exploring Normandy's wartime heritage. Passenger volumes are relatively low compared to major French airports, and the facility offers a limited but functional range of services. Seasonal charter flights supplement scheduled services, particularly during summer months.
