Air traffic control
There is no air traffic control tower; traffic is controlled by automated information provision on 123.500 MHz.
Barcelonnette is a small airport dependent on the Provence aeronautical district; it uses no services of the Directorate General for Civil Aviation. For aeronautical information, and preparation and deposition of flight plans, it is annexed to the Bureau Régional d'Information aéronautique (BRIA, "Regional Aeronautical Information Office") of Marseille Provence Airport.
To follow the visual flight plans and for air traffic control the airport is dependent on telecommunications and flight information from the French: Centre en route de la navigation aérienne Sud-Est ("South-East Air Traffic Control Centre") at Aix-en-Provence.
