Dinard is served by Dinard–Pleurtuit–Saint-Malo Airport (DNR), a regional airport serving the Emerald Coast of Brittany, France. It operates a highly seasonal schedule with a focus on summer holiday traffic from the UK arriving into Dinard and limited domestic service, effectively closing during the off-season winter months for arrivals.
The most frequent flights to Dinard are seasonal routes from the United Kingdom into DNR. During the summer months (approximately April to October), the airport sees regular flights from London (Stansted STN, Southend SEN), and occasionally other UK regional airports to Dinard. The only year-round scheduled service to Dinard is typically a domestic flight from Paris Orly (ORY) to DNR, but even this may be reduced or suspended outside the peak season.
The market is dominated by low-cost and regional carriers flying into Dinard. Ryanair has historically operated the key summer route from London Stansted to DNR. Chalair Aviation or Air France/HOP! may operate the domestic route from Paris to Dinard. Other small regional carriers might operate additional seasonal flights into DNR. There is minimal competition on any given route to Dinard.
To find cheap flights to Dinard, book summer UK charter or scheduled flights 3-6 months in advance for arrival into DNR when schedules are released. For the Paris route to Dinard, book as early as possible if you need to travel to DNR outside summer. Be aware that from November to March, the airport has very few, if any, commercial flights to Dinard. For reliable year-round travel to the Dinard area, the most practical alternatives are the nearby airports of Rennes (RNS) or Nantes (NTE), both about an hour and a half away by car, offering extensive domestic and European networks that can connect you to ground transport to Dinard. Dinard is ideal for a direct summer arrival to northern Brittany but is not a practical airport for flexible or off-season travel into DNR.
