Yes; LFMT is 3 days PPR and has been for ages.
Taken at face value it makes the airport almost completely useless.
Looking at their apron, it seems to work ok if you are French, and IME if you just fly there you get a stroppy email re the PPR and then it says on this occassion they have space. See this thread further back.
Next time I go that way I will use Beziers LFMU. Not been to the city yet; I am sure it is nice.
Not sure if anyone noticed;

MPL = LFMT Montpellier.
Was in there last week and got a very mild verbal telling off for not PPRing to refuel! Didn’t argue as it was the same person controlling the buzzer to let me through a locked door, but I did want to answer that I’d been one continent, several countries and multiple legs away 72 hours previously.
MPL?

This was not an issue on the return flight, I emailed whilst on my holibobs in Ibiza and they said it was now working. Flew via MPL on 28/09 and was serviceable.

They didn’t when I visited. A ton of admin charges, but far cheaper than other handlers.
Perpignan LFMP is friendly and super easy. PPR (if you need it) via web app MyDz, online payment via MyDz (€18) and fueling immediately upon landing. Terminal building is less than 200 m walking from GA apron if you need anything from there. Jet A1 is a bit more expensive than I expected (€2.42 and I expected €2.20) but the difference in total is less than €40.
100 plus vat.
Landed and waiting for fuel. Usual Spanish disorganisation.
They get around the min handling. See the 2017 Menorca thread.

LEGE appears to be 3hr PPR and it appears that the handler arranges this, so you need to email the handler in time. I am using Centervol.
Did you not make contact with Iberia? They was a lot cheaper.
