Roland Garros Airport (French: Aéroport de la Réunion Roland Garros), formerly known as Gillot Airport, is located in Sainte-Marie on Réunion, France.[4] The airport is 7km (04miles) east of Saint-Denis; it is named after the French aviator Roland Garros, who was born in Saint-Denis.
Roland Garros Airport is the hub of Air Austral and served 2,293,042 passengers in 2017 (8.8% more than in 2016).[5] Air Austral also has its head office on the airport property.[6] When Air Bourbon existed until 2004, its head office also was on the airport property.[7] The airport is at an elevation of 20m (70feet) above mean sea level. It has two asphalt paved runways: 12/30 measuring 3200mx45mm (10,500feetx148feetm) and 14/32 measuring 2670mx45mm (8,760feetx148feetm).
It is notable for operating the world's three longest domestic flight routes; to Paris (CDG and Orly) and to Marseille.[8]
It was once planned to construct a Réunion Tram Train to link the airport to the capital Saint-Denis and Saint-Paul, but plans for the construction were abandoned in 2013.
