Taxi Vichy-Charmeil Airport
Vichy-Charmeil Aerodrome (VHY) holds a distinctive place in French aviation. Located 8 km north-east of Vichy in the commune of Charmeil, on the edge of the Limagne Bourbonnaise plain, this general aviation airfield was established in the 1930s and has a storied past closely tied to the city of Vichy itself. During the Second World War, the proximity to the Vichy government made it a strategic site, before it reverted to civilian use in the post-war era. Today, Vichy-Charmeil primarily welcomes private flights, business charters, flying schools and the local aero club, with a 1,600-metre paved runway capable of handling light twin-engine jets. The aerodrome is the natural aerial gateway to Vichy, a spa town inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2021 as one of the 'Great Spa Towns of Europe'. This international recognition has boosted the city's appeal, drawing spa guests, heritage enthusiasts and conference delegates from across the globe.
