Metz–Nancy–Lorraine Airport or Aéroport de Metz–Nancy–Lorraine (IATA: ETZ, ICAO: LFJL) is an airport serving the Lorrainerégion of France. It is located in Goin, 16.5 km southeast of Metz,[1] (both communes of the Moselledépartement) and north of Nancy (a commune of Meurthe-et-Moselle). It opened to the public on October 28, 1991 and replaced Nancy–Essey and Metz–Frescaty airports.
The airport used to rebrand itself as "Lorraine Airport" in English only in 2015. In 2023, however, a court ruled that the act violated the Toubon law, and the airport reverted to its French name "Lorraine Aéroport".[2]
The airport is open 24/7. The runway was lengthened to 3050 m and refurbished in mid-2006 to be able to handle all types of large aircraft. The terminal building is about 7500 square metres and could accommodate up to 500,000 passengers per year with 14 check-in desks, 2 gates and 2 luggage claim belts. The cargo terminal is 3,600 square metres and could handle up to 60,000 tonnes of freight per year. The airport was a regional hub for DHL from 2000 to 2006, with flights to Toulouse, Nice, Marseilles, Cologne, Brussels, Paris, Vitoria and East-Midlands.
