Brittany's maritime gateway serving southwest Brittany.

Location
Lorient, France
Lorient South Brittany Airport, known by its ICAO code LFRH and IATA code LRT, is a regional airport located at Lann-Bihoué, near the port city of Lorient in the Morbihan department of Brittany, France. It serves as a key air access point for the southwestern Brittany region, handling both commercial passenger flights and military aviation operations. The airport shares its facilities with a French Navy air base, Base Aéronavale de Lann-Bihoué, which is one of France's principal naval air stations. This dual military-civil operation is a defining characteristic of the airport. The civil terminal handles a modest number of passengers annually, primarily on domestic routes to Paris and seasonal connections. Despite its relatively small size, the airport plays an important role in connecting the region to the French capital and occasionally to other European destinations, supporting the local economy and tourism in and around Lorient, Vannes, and the Gulf of Morbihan.
Terminals
The airport features a single civil passenger terminal handling domestic and limited international flights alongside a separate military zone.
Getting to & from
The airport is connected to Lorient city centre by bus services, with taxis also available; the journey to the city takes approximately 15–20 minutes.
