Ground transport

Since April 2015, the tram line T2 [fr] connects Toulouse city center with the airport every 15 minutes.[18] The tram connects with metro ligne A at Arènes and metro ligne B at Palais de Justice.

Shuttle buses to Toulouse city centre stop outside Hall B every 20 minutes. They take approximately 20 minutes to reach the city centre, stopping at Compans Caffarelli and Jeanne d'Arc (both on Metro Line B), Jean Jaurès (Metro Line A and B) and at Toulouse-Matabiau railway station.[19]

Two daily coach services[20] connect Toulouse–Blagnac Airport to Andorra,[21] as that country does not have a commercial airport.

Incidents and accidents

  • Douglas C-47A F-BCYX of Trans Europe Air was reported to have been damaged beyond repair at Toulouse–Blagnac during 1978.[22]
  • On 29 January 1988, Inter Cargo Service Flight 1004, operated by Vickers Vanguard F-GEJF crashed on take-off when take-off was attempted with only three fully operable engines.[23]
  • On 30 June 1994, an Airbus A330-300 performing a test flight crashed shortly after a touch and go, due to a pilot error in the test conditions. All seven people on board died in the accident.[24]
  • On 15 November 2007, an Airbus A340-600 due to be delivered to Etihad ran into a concrete blast fence during an engine test at the Airbus factory at Toulouse Blagnac International Airport, France. This was due to the crew not following proper test procedures, raising all four engines to maximum thrust while the wheels were un-chocked. The attempt to steer away from the wall resulted in decreased braking power. Five people were injured and the aircraft was written off.[25][26]
