Social innovation policy

Be a driving force for the economic and societal development of our region

As a powerful link between sectors, we make it our business to promote the region as well as the projects, activities and people that bring it to life, day after day.  We are determined to bring together local, economic, and cultural stakeholders in an innovative, committed and sustainable way.

Economic impact

Be an internationally-focused economic stakeholder.

Through its direct and indirect activities as a carrier, builder, logistics and services enterprise, the airport plays an important role in commercial transactions between the Toulouse region and the rest of the world.

As a property manager, the airport also provides buildings, services and logistics opportunities to the businesses located around the airport.

Lastly, with over 3 million foreign visitors per year, the airport constitutes a true gateway for tourists drawn in by the region’s most famous attractions, offering one of the major multi-modal hubs directly accessible from Europe’s largest cities.

Responsible procurement

Prioritising fairness, cooperation and a long-term approach.

The satisfaction of our customers and partners, and improving the operating costs of our activities, are major priorities for our airport.  Our procurement policy is therefore based on performance - through fair, transparent competition - and responsible procurement, where all factors are taken into consideration over the long term.

Forging ahead with innovation

Boosting partnerships and joint undertakings

Innovation and co-construction fuel our growth, leading to a host of projects carried out in partnership with local small businesses, major stakeholders in the aeronautics sector and various institutions in charge of developing our region.

For example, in late 2019, our airport was the first to try out a driverless baggage vehicle in real conditions, with our partners Air France and CHARLATTE AUTONOM..

Local development

Be an inclusive, forward-looking company

Day after day, we strive to promote local development, and help boost the attractiveness of our region, encouraging the emergence of new opportunities and skills. As a company with a learning culture, we welcome over forty young people every year on apprenticeships and internships, in all areas of airport business.

We are also channelling efforts into promoting the use of sustainable modes of transport such as cycling and car sharing, the emergence of sustainable tourism, and innovation in partnership with local businesses. As an example, we were the launch customer for Apptud, a young Toulouse-based startup specialised in mobile apps.

Partnerships and patronage

Bringing people together with a common goal

As a local stakeholder, we have made the long-term commitment to support a range of projects and ideas with meaning and value.

Toulouse Airport is a partner of the region’s biggest sports clubs and key cultural institutions.

Through these commitments, we are involved in community actions that benefit different areas of society and result in concrete achievements that are in line with our values.
