The project concerns the creation of a new runway at Plaine Corail airport in Rodrigues (Mauritius). The island’s economic development depends on access by air, and its current airport can only handle ATR 72 aircraft, carrying only 72 passengers and no freight.
The aim of the project is to build a runway and associated equipment, as well as reinforcing the existing runway and installing appropriate signage, to accommodate larger A R21 Neo aircraft carrying up to 250 passengers. In addition to the new runway, the works include the construction of a new control tower, a new fire station and a water treatment plant.
