When an item is found, it is kept for a regulated period of time to allow its owner time to come forward and request its return.

Every year, numerous items are left behind or lost in the airport terminal. To facilitate their return, an online service is available on the airport's website. It allows passengers to report and claim lost items.

A second life for unclaimed items

At the end of this storage period, unclaimed items are not automatically destroyed. They may be donated to charities to give them a second, useful, and socially responsible life.

In this context, the BACER association of Pré-Bocage recently intervened at the airport to collect several items whose storage period had expired. Among the items collected were clothing, books, and a bicycle.
