Hangarage
Airport restaurant
Au Vol au Vent, good food, and cheap if you have the meal of
the day. Alternatively a 3 minute walk to the south is Le Bistrot de la Place
on the square in Marck. We once went in August when both restaurants were
closed, but managed to get a picnic from the Carrefour supermarket, another 2
minutes walk. There’s also a kebab shop and pizzeria in the town. If going to
Calais itself, Au Coq d’Or on the Place d’Armes is consistently good.

A very easy Schengen stop, either 0 or 2 hours PN for the douane using a non-editable pdf on the website (I printscreen and add text). Uncomplicated aerodrome so it’s possible to have very fast turnarounds. I’ve also been quite late, maybe 1900 local on a Sunday evening and the buildings were still unlocked. Fuel is reasonably priced but only dispensed by the firemen so needs to be during operating hours. There is a bus to Calais every 30-45 minutes, which I’ve never used, but the route and times are ‘Ligne 1’ here: http://www.sitac-calais-opale-bus.fr/index.php/votre-voyage/horaires.
