The developer is obliged to appeal to other investors in order to reduce the financial participation of the Public Authority.

Infrastructure Construction Objectives

These civil and construction works aim to maintain and enhance the international status of Deauville Airport and attract airline companies and operators to offer regular and scheduled air services to and from the Airport.

In relation to this, the President of the Syndicat Mixte, M. Alain Le Vern noted: “These significant investments show the willingness of the two regions of Upper and Lower Normandy in partnership with the city of Deauville to invest in a project that highlights and reinforces the interregional status of the airport in Normandy. These investments represent some of the biggest civil works in Normandy in 2009.”
