Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne Airport CFE / LFLC

Airport self-handles. SEACFA (100% VINCI Airports subsidiary operating CFE under public-service delegation for SMACFA) employs in-house 'agents de piste' for marshalling, ground assistance, chocks/cones and baggage; VINCI applies internal IS-BAH handling criteria. Corroborated by VINCI Airports recruitment postings for Aulnat/Clermont-Ferrand ramp agents.

Airport into-plane fuelling performed by in-house 'agents avitailleurs'. Flight-support/AIP fuel listings for LFLC show JET A1, AVGAS 100LL and SAF available; 100LL/AVGAS shown as TotalEnergies-branded while the jet/SAF supply is contracted to Air BP. (Earlier claim of 'BP-branded 100LL' not corroborated.) · Per flight-support data approx Mon-Thu 0618-1506, Fri 0618-1306 (the previously claimed 0430-2130 was not corroborated)

Contracted fuel supplier at CFE under VINCI Airports. Supplies jet fuel plus a SAF blend (~35% SAF from waste feedstocks such as used cooking oil, ~80% lifecycle CO2 reduction on the SAF portion); CFE was the first French airport to offer SAF on an ongoing basis (first uplift 19 Apr 2021 by Michelin Air Services). Corroborated by Air BP press releases and Regional Gateway/Aerobuzz.

VINCI Airports teams perform aircraft de-icing; CFE took delivery of the world's first 100% electric de-icer, a Vestergaard Elephant e-Mini MY Lite (in service since Nov 2022), treating ATR/A320-321/B737-class aircraft. Corroborated by VINCI newsroom, Vestergaard/AviationPros, Air Journal, Aerobuzz.

The site is primarily a base-maintenance centre; HOP's own page describes line-maintenance teams stationed 'at various French airports' generically rather than specifically branding CFE as a third-party line-maintenance provider. Treated as on-request/unconfirmed for external operators (status downgraded from the original 'available').

HOP! Engineering & Maintenance main base at ZI Aeronautique Sud, Aulnat/Clermont-Ferrand (hangar from 2012, ~6,700 m2, ~298 staff). HOP's own site identifies it as the principal EJET base-maintenance centre; press reporting notes capacity for aircraft up to A321 with associated workshops. Air France's volume guarantee for HOP ran to March 2026 with renegotiation from April 2025, so operating as of 2026 with future under negotiation.

Ground support equipment provided in-house by the airport operator as part of self-handling; includes the electric de-icer and standard ramp GSE.
