Since 2006 and the end of the chikungunya crisis, the Airport of La Réunion Roland Garros (ARRG) records a significant increase in traffic. This phenomenon is amplified by the recent inclusion of the island in World Heritage of UNESCO.
The early 2000s saw little investment on the airport, therefore, the recent growth causes congestion in the terminal and its surroundings but also in the aircraft movement area.
In this context, the operator has launched a series of investments (€ 200 million) over 7 years (2011-2018) to catch up and to allow the platform to accommodate the aircraft Airbus A380 superjumbo.
