AIP referenceLFMV — AIP France AD 2.LFMV (SIA); RNP X/Y/Z (GNSS, incl. LPV minima) published for RWY17, visual/non-precision procedure for RWY35
Operating hoursATS/tower hours published by the operator (local time): Mon-Fri 0700-2130 in summer / 0700-2100 in winter; Sat 0700-1900 and Sun 0800-2000 year-round - i.e. routine weekend ATC IS provided, contrary to a 'GA field, no weekend coverage' assumption. The airport's own site advertises seasonal leisure-charter flights each summer to Antwerp (from June) and to Southampton/Birmingham (from July); these are charter-style bookings that do not always surface on mainstream airline-ticket search engines, so the current-year route list should be re-verified directly before use. PPR still recommended for movements outside published hours - confirm via NOTAM before planning ops.
TerminalsSingle terminal building (about 1,500 sq m, 200,000 pax/year design capacity); used mainly for general aviation, business jets and flight training, plus a thin seasonal leisure-charter service in summer (Antwerp, Southampton, Birmingham per the operator's own site) - no year-round scheduled airline service

Airport contact
Avignon-Provence (ex-Caumont) lost its last classic scheduled-airline links - Flybe's Birmingham/Southampton service and TUI fly Belgium's Antwerp service - in January 2023, and official UAF/operator language still frames the field as having 'no commercial lines since 2023' for mainline scheduled-airline purposes. However the operator's own website currently advertises seasonal leisure-charter flights resuming each summer to Antwerp (from June) and Southampton/Birmingham (from July); these charter-style bookings do not consistently appear on mainstream flight-search engines (a direct AVN-BHX route search returned 'not operated'), so treat this as a low-confidence, thin seasonal add and re-verify the exact current-year schedule via the airport's own site or NOTAM before relying on it. Day-to-day the field is used overwhelmingly for general aviation, business jets and flight training. Pax figure is 2025 UAF (Union des Aeroports Francais) data - 3,849 total, up 6.7% on 2024's 3,606 but still well under 2022's post-pandemic peak of 9,911, and far below the terminal's 200,000 pax/year design capacity. The runway's former ILS CAT I on RWY17 (subject of a well-publicised 2015-16 decommissioning dispute) has since been withdrawn as part of France's wider ILS-rationalisation programme and replaced by RNP/GNSS approaches with LPV minima; RWY35 retains only a visual/non-precision procedure, so planners relying on a precision approach should note this is no longer available. Tower hours include routine Saturday/Sunday coverage, contrary to a 'no weekend ATC' assumption - confirm current ATS hours, PPR and fuel uplift by NOTAM, particularly for the exact current-year seasonal route list.
