Périgueux-Bassillac Airport (IATA: PGX, ICAO: LFBX) is a small regional airport located in Bassillac, approximately 7 kilometres east of Périgueux, the prefecture of the Dordogne department in southwestern France. It serves the broader Périgord region, an area known for its prehistoric sites, medieval villages, and gastronomy.
