About Roland Garros Airport
Overview
Roland Garros Airport serves Sainte-Marie on Réunion Island, located in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar. As a large airport with substantial runway infrastructure, it supports regional and potentially international aviation operations. The airport's strategic location and significant runway lengths make it a key transportation hub for the region.
Flying Conditions
Situated at 66 feet above mean sea level, the airport experiences tropical maritime climate conditions typical of its Indian Ocean location. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations given the island's terrain and oceanic environment. The two substantial asphalt runways (10,499 ft and 8,760 ft) provide robust operational flexibility across different meteorological conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel-oriented runways (12/30 and 14/32) with significant length, enabling operations for larger aircraft types. Its geographic coordinates at -20.890087, 55.518894 place it in a coastal setting with potential terrain-influenced wind patterns. The airport's substantial runway infrastructure suggests it can handle diverse aircraft categories and operational requirements.
Approach Considerations
Runway 12/30's extended 10,499 ft length provides an excellent primary approach option with significant landing and takeoff margin. The secondary runway 14/32, measuring 8,760 ft, offers additional operational flexibility. Pilots should prepare for potential wind shifts and consider runway orientation relative to prevailing wind conditions when planning approaches.
