Inauguration of the Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc airport new terminal

28th May 2026

On Tuesday, May 26, VINCI Airports and the Haute-Savoie Council, respectively manager and owner of the airport, officially inaugurated the Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc airport’s new terminal, in the presence of local elected officials and many stakeholders.

The new infrastructure, result of a combined investment of €2.5 million co-financed by VINCI Airports and the Haute-Savoie Council, represents a major step in the airport’s development. Completed after 18 months of work between July 2024 and January 2026, the project is part of the overall €10 million investment plan launched by VINCI Airports upon taking over the concession in 2022, covering the fifteen-year concession period.

The redevelopment of the terminal responds to a dual ambition: to improve the passenger experience, while aligning the infrastructure with high environmental standards.

  • Carbon emission reduction: a decrease of 30 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year thanks to the cessation of gas use, reinforced thermal insulation and precise monitoring equipment for water and electricity consumption.
  • Improved customer and employee experience: with modernised spaces, the creation of three passenger lounges instead of one previously, and a dedicated crew area. Employees also benefit from more ergonomic and comfortable workspaces.
  • Improved accessibility: integration of a new forecourt facilitating access for people with reduced mobility.

This project is part of a comprehensive modernisation plan for Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc airport. Since 2022, several renovations have been carried out on existing infrastructure, including:

  • The restoration of runways, taxiways and aircraft stands;
  • The installation of a new fuel station incorporating a charging point for electric aircraft and enabling the distribution of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

Rémi Maumon de Longevialle, CEO of VINCI Airports, stated: “The inauguration of this new terminal marks a key milestone in the development of Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc airport. It reflects our commitment to providing optimal service quality to all passengers while integrating the airport into a sustainable and energy-efficient approach. Alongside the Haute-Savoie Council, we have leveraged our expertise to enhance the region’s influence and meet the shared ambitions for the airport’s future. I would like to warmly thank our teams and those of the Council for their outstanding commitment and work.”
