Blagnac (French pronunciation: [blaɲak]; Occitan: Blanhac) is a commune of the greater Toulouse area in the Haute-Garonne department in southwestern France. The city hosts the aviation museum Aeroscopia and the corporate headquarters and major manufacturing operations of Airbus.

It is the third-largest suburb of the city of Toulouse, although governed by a separate council,[3] and is adjacent to it on the northwest side. It is a member of the Toulouse Métropole.

## Geography

[edit]

The river Touch forms part of the commune's southern border, then flows into the Garonne, which forms all of its eastern border.

38% percent of the area is made up of green spaces, mainly along the river Garonne and in parks.[4]

## Education

[edit]

Blagnac has a student capacity of 5,500 in seven nurseries (écoles maternelles), five primary schools, two high schools/junior high schools (collèges), one sixth form college/senior high school (lycée), and a private school.[11]

Public secondary schools:[12]

* Lycée Saint-Exupéry

The private school is Établissement Le Ferradou, serving primary through senior high.[12]

## Transport

[edit]

Local transport is operated by Tisséo. Buses 70 and 71 run to Jeanne d'Arc (connection with Line B of the Toulouse Metro) and bus 66 runs to St Cyprien République (connection with Line A), both in the city centre. Bus 25 circles the suburb and stops at the Airport, and bus 17 connects Blagnac to Mondonville, toward the northwest. A shuttlebus (navette) connects the Airport to the city centre.[13] A new tramway now operates southwards to the Toulouse Arènes station where it connects with Line A of the Metro.

## Car attack

[edit]

On 10 November 2017 a man drove into three students, aged between 22 and 23, outside their college. One was in a serious condition. It was thought the driver was suffering from major psychological problems. A public prosecutor at the time said there was no evidence the attack was linked to terrorism.[14]
