Direct peers

• Farnborough Airport: UK's leading dedicated business aviation airport, part of the Paragon Network alongside ExecuJet (Francazal's FBO partner). Comparable focus on premium business aviation services, FBO operations, and a single-runway specialised airport model.
• Aéroport de Cannes Mandelieu: French regional airport specialised in business aviation with dedicated FBOs and aero-industrial tenants. Closest peer to Francazal in terms of size, business aviation focus, and aero-industrial cluster model.
• Châlons-Vatry Airport: Another EDEIS-managed regional French airport with business aviation and cargo capabilities. Comparable in operating structure, scale, and parent-company relationship, providing a direct template for Francazal's concession economics.
• Aéroport Paris-Le Bourget: Europe's leading business aviation airport, operated under a similar public/private concession framework. Direct functional peer for FBO services, business aviation handling, and aeronautical fee structure — the benchmark for premium business aviation airport economics in France.
• Lyon-Bron Airport: Lyon-area airport dedicated to business, general aviation, and aero-industrial activity — operates as a complement to Lyon-Saint-Exupéry in the same way Francazal complements Toulouse-Blagnac. Closely comparable dual-airport model in a French aerospace region.
• Aéroport de Marseille Provence: Large regional French commercial airport with significant business aviation traffic and aero-industrial zone. Comparable scale and multi-segment model (commercial + business aviation + industry) operating in a major French metropolitan region.
• Aéroport de Toulouse-Blagnac: Same metro area airport and 39% shareholder of Francazal. Toulouse-Blagnac is the dominant commercial passenger gateway while Francazal focuses on business aviation and aerospace industry — both serve overlapping Toulouse-region aviation demand and compete for airline and corporate customers.
• Aéroport de Bordeaux-Mérignac: Major regional French airport with a dedicated business aviation terminal (BBA by Signature) and aero-industrial tenants. Comparable to Francazal in combining scheduled commercial service with general/business aviation and on-site industrial activity, in another major French aerospace region.
• Angers-Loire Airport: EDEIS-managed sister airport under a similar public service delegation model, serving mixed business aviation, training, and aero-industrial use. Direct operational peer within the same EDEIS portfolio with comparable revenue model and tenant mix.

Broad incumbents

• Nice Côte d'Azur Airport: Large commercial French airport with a substantial private aviation segment and on-site industrial zone. Larger scale and broader service offering than Francazal but competes for the same Mediterranean business aviation demand.
