en.Wedoany.com Reported - Ten years after initiating preliminary discussions on the redevelopment of its freight zone, Montpellier Méditerranée Airport (aéroport Montpellier Méditerranée) is now moving forward with the accelerated development of its logistics and freight aeropole (Aéropole logistique et fret), an area dedicated to express delivery and logistics operations. Airport executives presented the related plans on June 16, 2026.

Since the delivery of the Chronopost agency in September 2024, developed by DCB Logistics (a subsidiary of Lyon-based real estate developer DCB International), the area has seen a succession of project openings. Following Stef Transport in February 2025, EvoluSolar and BIT Group arrived in September 2025, and XPO followed in March 2026. Five additional warehouses are either under construction or set to begin construction before the end of 2026. In a press release, Montpellier Méditerranée Airport stated that by 2030, a total of 100,000 square meters of buildings will be delivered in the area, making the aeropole one of the most significant logistics projects in the region. These new logistics operators join express delivery companies that have long been established around the airport in the Hérault department, such as American giants UPS and FedEx.

The freight zone redevelopment project is driven by Société anonyme Aéroport de Montpellier-Méditerranée (Société AMM, responsible for managing the airport platform under a national concession), its institutional partners, and a dozen private operators, representing an investment of over €150 million. Stakeholders anticipate that the area could generate up to 2,000 jobs by 2030, an increase of 1,300 jobs compared to the current level.
