Châlons Vatry Airport (IATA: XCR, ICAO: LFOK) is a minor international airport serving Châlons-en-Champagne and the Grand Est region in northeastern France. It is located 22 km (14 mi) southeast of Châlons-en-Champagne, near Vatry, in the Marne department. It opened as Vatry Air Base in 1953 and switched from military to civilian use in 2000.
For freight operations, it is marketed as Vatry Europort and gave its name to the former communauté de communes de l'Europort. For passenger traffic, it is also unofficially marketed as Paris-Châlons or Paris-Vatry (Disney), although it is 147 km (91 mi) east of central Paris and approximately 105 km (65 mi) away from Disneyland Paris.
