The most beautiful and traditional bay resort in Europe

Today’s Kodiak Discovery

Despite being described as “the most beautiful and traditional bay resort in Europe,” La Baule-Escoublac in Western France is relatively unknown outside the region. Let’s escape and discover.

With a Kodiak 100 Series III, the most advanced 10-seat STOL turboprop, an escape like this is quick and easy.
Even though the Kodiak’s remarkable short take off and landing (STOL) capability may not be needed on this flight, it’s reassuring to know that your aircraft can handle all types of airports or airstrips. As you fly over the breathtaking ocean scenery, your passengers will appreciate the Kodiak’s large panoramic windows … one for each passenger to take in the views.

The Ultimate Escape Vehicle

As the “ultimate escape vehicle,” the Kodiak 100 easily converts from passengers to cargo. The large payload door is handy for loading all of your vacation gear; from suitcases to surfboards.
Need even more space? An optional cargo pod gives you an additional 1,78m³ (63 cu ft)!

Inside you can choose from two interior packages:

• Timberline – A flexible, lightweight interior that carries a combination of passengers and freight. Includes leather seats, carpeting, storage pockets, and cup holders.

• Summit – Executive club seating with optional tables and cabinets. A top-of-the-line comfort choice that is equally suitable for business trips, or for family adventures.

Master Any Mission ­– Business or Personal

That’s the beauty of the Kodiak 100, the perfect personal plane – it can master any mission you throw its way. Aerial mapping or reconnaissance, fire suppression, parachute charters, corporate executive flights, you name it.

Advanced avionics and advanced engineering make this the safest, most economical airplane in its class, while the state-of-the-art Garmin G1000 NXi avionics provide a pilot-friendly cockpit.

Once you touch down at La Baule-Escoublac, the pilot and others will want to head to the Musee Aeronautique Presqu’ile Cote d’Amour (MAPICA), which is located right at the airport. The museum restores and displays aviation heritage from the 1930s–1950s. See a variety of aircraft, engines, documents, even a flight simulator. A must-see for any aviation enthusiast!
