Quimper/Pluguffan, France
Quimper-Cornouaille Airport (IATA: UIP, ICAO: LFRQ) is a regional airport located in Pluguffan, a commune just southwest of Quimper in the Finistère department of Brittany, France. It serves as the primary air access point for the Cornouaille region and the wider southern Brittany area. The airport handles a modest volume of passengers, primarily on domestic routes connecting Quimper to Paris and other French cities, as well as some seasonal international services.

Despite its relatively small size, the airport plays an important role in the economic and tourist connectivity of the Finistère department, offering residents and visitors an alternative to the longer overland journey to larger hubs such as Brest or Rennes.
