Regional general aviation airfield serving Amiens and Picardy.
Location
Amiens, France
Amiens Glisy Airfield (ICAO: LFAY) is a small general aviation airport located in the commune of Glisy, on the eastern outskirts of Amiens in the Somme department of northern France. It primarily serves private pilots, flight training schools, and light aircraft operations rather than scheduled commercial airline services.
The airfield has historical significance as the Amiens region was heavily involved in both World War I and World War II aviation activity. Today it supports local aero clubs, skydiving operations, and small charter flights, playing a modest but important role in regional general aviation infrastructure.
Amiens Glisy does not handle regular passenger airline traffic and lacks the facilities of a commercial airport. It remains a functional base for recreational and training aviation in the Hauts-de-France region.
