The ENVOL line enables the Toulouse city centre to connect with the Toulouse-Blagnac Airport. The 2.5km track extends the line T1 and serves numerous offices and the workshops in the South Airport Zone (Airbus, ATR…). The line provides, in a road environment, a “user-friendly” ribbon that reconciles the tramway with generously planted pedestrian and bicycle paths. It crosses the A621 motorway that provides access to the airport by a flyover bridge whose structure evokes a wave and movement; the emblem of this new service.
