<h2 class="blog-hed2 pb-lg-4 pb-3 text-lg-center">Overview Saint Pierre Airport</h2>
<p class="blog-para">The airport was completed in August 1999 and consisted of four buildings and a control tower. The old airport, which opened in 1965 and was located on the south side of the inner harbor, was re-located due to the lack of room for expansion (The current runway is 1,800 meters when compared to the old 11/29 at 1,250 meters). The main terminal building is a two-story structure. The old airport is located in the city center of St. Pierre and is being redeveloped for housing complexes. The control tower, terminal building, hangar, and part of the old runway (mark number 29) are intact. The airport project cost 370 million French francs. Unusually, the airport's ICAO airport code, LFVP, begins with an L, representative of the codes used in France (and nearly all of southern Europe), despite the geographical proximity to Canada's codes which begin with C.</p>
<p class="blog-para">While not entirely unheard of elsewhere, it is rarely seen in airports of other overseas territories or possessions of European nations, including France, which tend to hew to the most geographically relevant letter code as opposed to the most politically relevant. Airports in French Guiana, for example, use South America's S prefix, despite French Guiana's being an overseas department of France.</p>
