Napoleon Bonaparte Airport (AJA), previously known as "Campo dell'Oro Airport," serves as the main air transportation hub for the island, situated just 5 km from Corsica's capital city of Ajaccio. This airport is serviced by numerous airlines, offering connections to various destinations on mainland France and seasonal routes to cities all across Europe. Travellers can utilize a shuttle bus to travel between Ajaccio Airport and the city centre. Line 8 travels from Ajaccio Airport to the Railway Station located in the city centre, with a total travel time of approximately 15-20 minutes. Please note that schedules differ during the summer and winter seasons. During the summer, buses operate from 5:20am to 11:20pm at a frequency of every 30 minutes. In contrast, during the winter, buses run from 6:30am to 11:30pm, approximately every hour. Another bus, number 12, departs from the P+R Campo dell’Oro bus stop (a 15-minute walk from the airport) and is the absolute cheapest option. Car rentals and official taxis are also readily available at the airport. Located 3 km northwest of Figari and 25 km southwest of Porto-Vecchio, the Figari–Sud Corse Airport (FSC) serves the far south of the island. Most flight connections are seasonal. Taxis and car rentals are available upon arrival, but a pre-arranged shuttle is the most reasonable means of transport. There is a bus service from the airport to Porto-Vecchio, timetables change depending on the season.

Post offices can be found in most Corsican settlements. In larger cities, these work Monday through Friday, with short opening hours on Saturdays. Stamps may also be purchased at press and tobacco shops.

There are multiple pharmacies in larger settlements. Most pharmacies are open from 8:30 am until around 7 pm, with a lunch break around noon. Find a "pharmacie de garde" (on-duty pharmacy) if you need to get your prescription filled outside these hours.
