Plaine Corail Airport (IATA: RRG, ICAO: FIMR) is an airport located near Plaine Corail on Rodrigues, an island dependency of Mauritius. Prior to being renamed in 2017,[3] it was known as Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport, after Gaëtan Duval (1930–1996), a former deputy Mauritian prime minister, who oversaw much of the development of Rodrigues. Airport of Rodrigues Ltd (ARL) was incorporated on 8 February 2000 as a public company.
In 2006, the airport handled 49,500 passengers. It has an asphalt runway which measures 1,287 by 30 metres (4,222 ft × 98 ft). In addition to Air Mauritius service to Mauritius, Air Austral started seasonal service to Reunion's Pierrefonds airport in 2015, [4] later transferring the service to Saint-Denis de la Réunion in 2022.[5]
