Since its founding in 1975, Air Austral has grown from a regional operator into a leading long-haul airline, connecting the Indian Ocean to the world with pride, reliability, and a deep-rooted commitment to quality service.
With its headquarters at Roland Garros Airport in Saint-Denis, Réunion, Air Austral plays a vital role in the economic and social life of the island and the broader Indian Ocean region. The airline embodies the spirit of its territory—warm, diverse, resilient—and shares it with every traveler who flies with us.

Our journey has been marked by innovation, adaptability, and an unyielding commitment to regional development and customer satisfaction.
