Réunion's second airport serving the sunny south coast.

Opened
1998
Location
Saint-Pierre, Réunion
Saint-Pierre Pierrefonds Airport (IATA: ZSE, ICAO: FMEP) is a regional airport located in the south of Réunion, a French overseas territory in the Indian Ocean. It serves the city of Saint-Pierre and provides an alternative to the main Roland Garros Airport in the north of the island. The airport handles a modest volume of regional and domestic traffic, with connections primarily to other Indian Ocean islands such as Mayotte, Madagascar, Comoros, and Mauritius. It plays an important role in inter-island connectivity for the southern part of Réunion. Due to its location in a more sun-favored part of the island, Pierrefonds sometimes offers better flying conditions than Roland Garros, which can be affected by cloud cover and tropical weather on the northern and eastern coasts.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building suited to its regional and domestic traffic volumes.
Getting to & from
Ground transport to Saint-Pierre city center is available via taxi and bus services from the airport.
Airlines here
Air Austral and Corsair have operated services here, along with regional carriers connecting to neighboring Indian Ocean islands.
