Flights to Saint-Denis
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Saint-Denis is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Roland Garros Airport (RUN), 7 km (4 mi) from the centre, whose 10,499-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Saint-Pierre Pierrefonds Airport (ZSE, 49 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Roland Garros Airport | RUN | 7 km (4 mi) | 10,499 ft | 66 ft |
| Saint-Pierre Pierrefonds Airport | ZSE | 49 km (30 mi) | 7,000 ft | 59 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,499 ft, RUN can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 66 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
