History
Marseille airport was officially opened on 22nd October 1922. Initial thoughts of founding the airport in the nearby suburb of Prado were thwarted early on. The original airport only existed for a short time until 1944, as it was completely destroyed by German bombs. Air traffic could only finally be taken up completely as late as in 1961. In the first half of the 1990s, the entire airport was modernised, the last project taking place in 2006, when a new terminal building was built that was intended to be used especially by the so-called low-cost airlines.
