Frequently Asked Questions

Did Air Bourbon belong to an airline alliance?
Air Bourbon did not belong to any airline alliance. The small French regional carrier operated from Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean. Air Bourbon ceased operations in the early 2000s after facing financial difficulties and competition from Air Austral.
Where was Air Bourbon based?
Air Bourbon was based at Roland Garros Airport (RUN) on Reunion Island, a French overseas department in the Indian Ocean. The airline operated inter-island services connecting Reunion with Mauritius and other Indian Ocean destinations.
What type of service did Air Bourbon provide?
Air Bourbon provided regional passenger air service in the Indian Ocean, primarily connecting Reunion Island with Mauritius and Madagascar. The airline operated small regional aircraft suitable for the short inter-island routes.
What was Air Bourbon's fleet like?
Air Bourbon operated a small fleet of regional aircraft including ATR turboprops, which were well-suited for the short routes between Indian Ocean islands. The aircraft size matched the modest passenger demand on these regional connections.
What happened to Air Bourbon?
Air Bourbon ceased operations due to financial difficulties and intense competition from Air Austral, the dominant carrier on Reunion Island. The small Indian Ocean inter-island market could not sustain multiple carriers, and Air Austral's stronger financial position and larger network ultimately prevailed.
