Calais–Dunkerque Airport
Calais–Dunkerque Airport (French: Aéroport de Calais - Dunkerque) (IATA: CQF, ICAO: LFAC) is an airport located in Marck, 7 km (4 mi) east-northeast of Calais,[1] in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region of France.The airport also serves Dunkerque (a commune in the Nord department).In the 1950s and early 1960s, the airport was busy with cross-channel service, including car ferry flights, by private airlines such as Silver City Airways and Channel Air Bridge, later merged into British United Air Ferries.Initially this was claimed as the first electric aircraft to cross the English Channel, but it has since been pointed out that there were previous such flights, including one as long ago as 1981.[3][4][5][6] The airport is at an elevation of 12 feet (4 m) above mean sea level.
