NIMES

Nimes lost its AF flights a good while back - I'm told that when the TGV line gave Nimes a fast rail link with Paris, the Govt or region stopped the subventions that had supported the AF/Air Inter links with Paris, and without the subsidy AF thought the route uneconomic. The only services now are the RYR ones, hence 3 flights per day at most. AF still do some training there from time to time - there are sometimes AF A320 family aircraft doing circuits; ususally timed to perfection to get in the way of incoming/outgoing RYR aircraft, or so it seems ...

re BZR: RYR has just started services into there - brought it back from the dead.
