## Description

For the islanders of Rodrigues, the choice between air and sea decides how goods arrive: urgent and perishable consignments travel as belly cargo aboard Air Mauritius ATR 72 turboprops, while bulk and heavy freight comes by ship from Port Louis. Set near Plaine Corail in the island's south, the airport (IATA RRG, ICAO FIMR) links Rodrigues to mainland Mauritius and, on seasonal Air Austral rotations, to nearby Réunion. It operates without a dedicated cargo terminal, so freight forwarders consolidate air shipments at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International (MRU) before the short hop east. A single asphalt strip and turboprop-only traffic keep the operation deliberately lean. Its real value lies less in tonnage than in keeping a remote Indian Ocean community supplied.
