RUN Reunion

How deep the RUN board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from RUN. This reads the same 12 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 7of the 12 destinations are flown by one airline
• 7destinations run less than once a day
• 1destination has four or more departures a day
• 75%of the destinations name Air Austral, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at RUN

Six airlines appear on the RUN board and they do not hold it evenly. Air Austral is on 9 of the 12 destinations, 75 per cent of them, and on 5 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 13.3 of the 16.8 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Corsair on 5 destinations. 4 of the 6 airlines at RUN appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

An airport held this tightly is quick to book and slow to recover: with 9 of the 12 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on an RUN sector is usually another Air Austral aircraft, and when there is not one the desk is looking at another airport rather than another airline. That is why the alternate airports listed above matter more at RUN than the destination count does.

How much of the RUN board is daily

Of the 12 destinations, 5 are flown at least once a day and 7 are not, 2 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the RUN board is flown 4 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: RUN to Port Mathurin (RRG) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 14.4 of the 16.8 departures a day, 85.6 per cent of the whole board. On that arithmetic RUN is five sectors and a short tail, so the depth on the board above is thinner than the destination count suggests and a hand carry that is not going to one of those five is planned around a single departure time.

The seven destinations out of RUN where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable.

The way back from RUN

The desk holds the return direction for 10 of the 12 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On two of them the return into RUN runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Jo'anna (JNB) at 0.43 out a day against 0.29 back and Marseille (MRS) at 0.43 out a day against 0.29 back.

A return leg thinner than the outbound is the ordinary reason a same day round trip out of RUN turns into an overnight, and it is worth checking on each of those 2 sectors before the courier is committed rather than after.

The clock at RUN

RUN keeps Indian/Reunion time, the same clock the desk works to, so an instruction written in Dubai is read here in the same working hour and a cut off quoted from Dubai needs no arithmetic at this end.

The night at RUN

2 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Paris (CDG) the door shuts at 00:00 local, so the last departure from RUN that lands inside it leaves around 14:13, on a modelled block of 11h 47m. Into Paris (ORY) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from RUN that lands inside it leaves around 13:44, on a modelled block of 11h 46m. Those two departure times out of RUN are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where RUN turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Réunion country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with RUN already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 12 destinations above.
