About Le Mans-Arnage Airport
L'aéroport du Mans ou aéroport Le Mans-Arnage, autrefois nommé aérodrome des Raineries, est un aéroport qui se situe à environ 7 kilomètres au sud de la ville du Mans sur le territoire de la commune d'Arnage, dans la Sarthe, en France. Il est accessible via le périphérique sud de la ville. Entre 2010 et 2024, son gestionnaire historique a été la Chambre de commerce et d'industrie du Mans et de la Sarthe pendant plusieurs années. Depuis le 1er janvier 2025, la société Edeis est devenu le nouveau gestionnaire de l'aéroport du Mans à la suite de l'appel d'offres organisé en vue d'attributer la concession de l'aéroport. VFR/IFR de jour et de nuit, de catégorie C, il répond à la définition d'aéroport communautaire à caractère international. Les voyages privés sont de plus en plus nombreux. Les avions internationaux sont autorisés à s'y arrêter sur demande. Il n'y a pas de liaison journalière existante. Il sert aux déplacements sportifs dont les joueurs de football qui en usent pour des déplacements nationaux, l'équipe Le Mans Sarthe Basket pour des déplacements européens. Il sert aussi à l'accueil des pilotes ou d'invités privés lors des 24 heures du Mans.
