The St-ETIENNE-De-St-GEOIRS airport

The Olympic Village, the coach station and the Olympic Car Park were to be built on this former airport ground. The transfer had therefore to be completed, in March 1967, at the latest. Here again this compulsory date was also respected.

THE AERODROME OF GRENOBLE-SAINT-GEOIRS

From 1938, a military aerodrome had been installed about 2 kms to the North of the town of SAINTÉTIENNE-de-SAINT-GEOIRS. This aerodrome, meant to be used to support the operations of the Alpine Army Corps, consisted of a simple flat surface of about 110 hectares which was grass covered and later on used by the Secretariat General to Civil and Commercial Aviation almost exclusively for light aviation.

The geological nature of the sub-soil, which consists of layers of sand, of aluvio-glacial origin, meant that all necessary material for the construction of runways, parking zones, roads could be found on the spot.

Important savings were therefore made in the cost of these constructions.

In May 1967, after a preliminary study of expected air traffic during the Games, the decision was taken to extend the runway by 200 m to 2050 m so that it could be used by all types of middle distance aircraft including the Caravelle. In August 1967, it was judged that this airport could be usefully equipped with an I.L.S. system for landing without visibility.

The important road constructions giving access to this airport should be noted, from N. 519, to avoid the difficult crossing of the town of SAINT-ÉTIENNE-de-SAINT-GEOIRS.

The Olympic Shuttle Service

A network of regular transport was gradually established from about January 25th. These services which covered all the Olympic installations were assured by coaches or minicoaches. They were for the exclusive use of the people connected with the Games (officials, athletes, organizing committee, firms under contract, etc.). They had fixed timetables and routes which were published in advance. The busiest day was February 18th when about 150 vehicles, of which 120 were coaches, were used.

A MILLION LITRES OF PETROL

Minicoaches: 200,000 litres high-grade petrol;
Cars: 150,000 litres high-grade petrol;
Coaches: 200,000 litres diesel oil;
Military transport vehicles: 600,000 litres highgrade petrol;
Helicopters: 23,000 litres of aviation fuel;
Various machines (bulldozers etc.): 50,000 litres high-grade petrol.

Making totals of:
HIGH-GRADE PETROL: 1,000,000 litres;
DIESEL OIL: 280,000 litres;
AVIATION FUEL: 23,000 litres.

AIR TRAFFIC AT GRENOBLE SAINT-GEOIRS

The traffic for January was limited to the use of the line Paris-Grenoble by the Company Air Inter with 112 flights for 2,578 passengers. During the month of February the same company, "Air Inter" made 126 flights of which 96 were regular ones:
