"boarding zone was over crowded with passengers on the top of each other"
Martin Kendall (Qatar)
Not Verified | In full global pandemic, Ajaccio airport boarding zone was over crowded with passengers on the top of each other, waiting for their flight to board but several were delayed (as ours) by at least an hour! Did anyone attempt to manage the crowd and stop the check ins so the number of persons piling up in a small hall, breathing over each other despite wearing the mask was made? No! Even the police could see how unsafe the situation was but did not intervene. The hall was hot, making breezing with masks difficult, very little chairs available, and a couple of duty free shop with the most rude staff with zero sympathy! Ajaccio airport is a very small airport that can not cope with high number of tourists during summer. Very disappointing. I truly hope everyone was safe and no one was infected by COVID-19 while waiting in such overfilled facilities.

"Security staff are extremely rude"
S Simpson (United Kingdom)
✅ Trip Verified | Security staff are extremely rude. They made a huge scene about my trekking poles and then confiscated them. I flew from New York City to Paris and Paris to Calvi with my poles and had no trouble in any other airports during my travels. Very disappointed with my Ajaccio airport experience. Moreover, Corsica is a huge trekking destination for hikers so not sure how the incompetent security staff are unaware.

"security agents are rude"
Nick Strohecker (United States)
❎ Not Verified | Although the airport itself is fine, the security agents are rude, inconsistent, and not bright. Trekking poles were deemed weapons, thus not allowed on the flight, but only some. Other poles, of the exact same type, size, everything, were confiscated by guards that seemed to enjoy their limited power to taint one's vacation. If one needs to bring poles or anything similar through security, I recommend faking a limp or hope that the main jerks are on a lunch break.

"airport is unfit for modern travelling"
P Paquet (France)
✅ Verified Review | Site of the airport is unique, but it is the only great thing about it. This airport is unfit for modern travelling while not even maxed out in terms of capacity. Parking lot is expensive and frequently full. Roofs and walls start rusting already. Air conditioning is minimal. Bathrooms are just above the level of average in terms of cleanliness. Luggage handling ground staff has managed via unions to apply a 5 Euros fee per kg to any luggage above 23kg, which make it very uneasy when you fly business class after you've left Corsica with an allowance of 30+kg. This is very annoying because this fee is collected by the airline at check-in and not mentioned in your fare rules when you buy a ticket. Controls are done in a corridor between 2 walls. There are no boarding bridges. No buses. Boarding gates are few and room is tight during the busy summer season. Boarding gates are a few hundred meters away from your aircraft, which makes it very unpleasant to walk from the gate to the plane under the rain. Same issue at arrival if it is raining to reach the airport. 3 luggage reclaim belts, which are very tight during the busy summer season.

"nice little airport"
O Beyr (United Kingdom)
Nice little airport right next to the sea and beaches. There is not much you can expect during waiting time it is only a regional airport. Only point of criticism: access to security control. At the time I was there queues formed randomly without any guidance between around and between counters which led to some confusion and aggression as some people got away without waiting.

"good efficient airport"
Alistair Peckham (United Kingdom)
Good efficient airport but suffers from heavy summer traffic and due to the size of the airport there can be delays just due to the amount of flights which the airport can not handle. Also not the best allocation of seats. Security staff were very pleasant and polite. Also not many cues or waits for security or boarding.
