Location
Calais, France
Calais Marck Airport (IATA: CQF, ICAO: LFAC) is a small civil and general aviation airport located in Marck, near the port city of Calais in northern France. Situated in the Hauts-de-France region, it lies close to the English Channel and the Strait of Dover, one of the world's busiest maritime corridors.

It serves a niche role supporting local aviation clubs, training flights, and business aviation in the Pas-de-Calais area.
