Plans to create a new airport at Nantes in France have moved forward with the publication of a decree authorising construction of the facility.
Notre-Dame-des-Landes Airport, which will be situated between Rennes and Nantes, will have two runways and is slated as the replacement for Nantes-Atlantique Airport.
The French ministry for ecology and sustainable development says the project has been backed by France’s Conseil d’Etat and a decree authorising the construction of the facility has been published in France’s official journal.
It says: “The realisation of this new airport, which will substitute the existing Nantes-Atlantique airport, will remove low-level overflights above the city of Nantes which are a source of noise pollution.”
