Marseille Provence Airport (IATA: MRS) is the main international airport serving Marseille and the Provence region of southern France. Located in Marignane, it supports passenger and air cargo operations and functions as a strategic gateway between southern Europe, the Mediterranean basin, and global destinations.
For the chemical and energy value chain, the airport is a key node in aviation fuel logistics, with storage, hydrant distribution, and quality-control systems that underpin conventional jet fuel supply to airlines. In line with European decarbonization policies, it collaborates with regional industry and public stakeholders around the Marseille–Fos industrial area to enable the introduction and scaling of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and power‑to‑liquid e‑fuels, including the associated certification and fueling infrastructure.
Its proximity to the Marseille–Fos port and petrochemical cluster provides access to pipelines, terminals, and industrial partners, facilitating future SAF sourcing, blending, and distribution to carriers serving southern France and nearby Mediterranean markets.
