Staff at Bergerac airport are celebrating after recent figures produced by the Chambre de commerce et d'industrie (CCI) revealed that the airport had raised a staggering 1.7 billion euros over the last eight years. The airport, which became a low cost plane carrier in 2003 and flies to Britain, Holland and Belgium, is funded in part by the Dordogne CCI and has, over the years attracted critics who have claimed that the airport is too expensive to run. The airport itself continues to run at a loss of around €1.5 millon euros per year.
