The entrepreneurs' Club
The Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport Entrepreneurs’ Club (Club des Entrepreneurs in French) was created in July 2003, with 1,100 company directors joining forces to support the airport’s development plans.
This lobbying group, launched by Grand Lyon (Greater Lyon Authority), the CCIL (Lyon Chamber of Commerce and Industry) and the airport’s management, aims to carry out initiatives which facilitate and accelerate the expansion of Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport, and which promote and enhance its profile, thus boosting the economic development of the Lyon urban area, the Rhône-Alpes region and South-East France.
• Compagnies involved in the club
The 1,100 members represent a large volume of business:
- Close to 120,000 employees in the Rhône-Alpes Region
- Close to €25 billion total turnover, including 30% export
• Founder members of the club
The Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport Entrepreneurs’ Club brings together the major companies in the Rhône-Alpes Region, and, through the direct involvement of its leaders, seeks to influence the choices made by political decision-makers and economic operators..

What the club
The Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport Entrepreneurs’ Club seeks to contribute both in terms of facilities and customer service quality in the airport and the development of new routes, particularly intercontinental routes.
In order to achieve these objectives, the members of the club, together with the airport management, examine realistic progress areas and lobby members of government, the authorities, airlines and railway companies.
