Flying in Toulouse: the local context

Flying in Toulouse means flying in the home of European aerospace: the Toulouse-Blagnac CTR covers the west of the city, the Airbus facilities (Blagnac, Saint-Martin-du-Touch) and Francazal airfield are prohibited or restricted areas, and ONERA and CNES add further sensitive sites. Any mission on the west side goes through a protocol with Blagnac tower.

Paradoxically, that context creates the market: aerospace manufacturers, subcontractors and laboratories buy technical inspection and thermography, the pink city's property developments (brick façades and flat roofs suit aerial photography well) sell with drone visuals, and the Canal du Midi, the Garonne and Place du Capitole feed tourism and production work.
