Commercially called Brive–Dordogne Valley Airport (French: Aéroport de Brive – Vallée de la Dordogne), it replaces the older Brive–La Roche Airport (45°08′59″N 001°28′28″E / 45.14972°N 1.47444°E / 45.14972; 1.47444 (Brive-La Roche)).

As of February 2012, the route operates twice a week in the winter.
