The Marignane airport is also the main base of the aerial firefighting division of Civil security (French Ministry of the Interior).[5] The head office of Eurocopter is located on the airport property.[6]
In the 1920s and 1930s, Marignane was one of France's main points of operation for flying boats. It even briefly served as a terminal for PanAm's Clipper flying boats.[7] Some other hydroplane operators were Aéropostale and Air Union, the latter moving over from Antibes in 1931. Marignane was also a production site for hydroplanes by Lioré et Olivier.
