France's Minister of Armed Forces Sebastien Lecornu, Chief of Staff of the French Armed Forces Thierry Burkhard Chief of Staff of the French Air and Space Force (Armee de l'air et de l'espace) Jerome Bellanger, and French President Emmanuel Macron visit Air Base 116 "Lieutenant-Colonel Papin" in Luxeuil-les-Bains (Haute-Saone), on March 18, 2025. Air Base 116 is much more than a training center: it plays a key role in air security, both on national territory and in allied airspace, particularly on the Alliance's eastern flank. It also contributes to security beyond Europe, particularly from the base in Djibouti. This presence underlines the base's importance in collective defense and regional security, enabling France to play a central role in protecting the interests of the Atlantic Alliance and beyond.
