Metz-Nancy-Lorraine Airport or Aéroport de Metz-Nancy-Lorraine (IATA: ETZ, ICAO: LFJL) is an airport serving the Lorraine région of France. It is located in Goin, 16.5 km southeast of Metz[1], (both communes of the Moselle département) and north of Nancy (a commune of Meurthe-et-Moselle).
It opened to the public on October 28th, 1991 and replaced both Nancy-Essey and Metz-Frescaty airports. The airport is open 24/7. The runway has been lengthened to 3050 m and refurbished in mid-2006 to be able to handle all types of large aircraft. The terminal building is about 7500 sqm and could accommodate up to 500,000 passengers per year with 14 check-in desks, 2 gates (a third one will be added soon) and 2 luggage claim belts. The cargo terminal is 3,600 sqm and could handle up to 60,000 tons of freight per year. The airport was a regional hub for DHL from 2000 to 2006, with flights to Toulouse, Nice, Marseilles, Cologne, Brussels, Paris, Vitoria and East-Midlands.
