Air Bourbon

  • Air Bourbon was a French airline that operated from 2002 to 2004. It was based in Reunion, a French overseas territory in the Indian Ocean. The airline primarily flew between Reunion Island and various destinations in mainland France, such as Paris and Marseille.
  • Air Bourbon aimed to provide low-cost long-haul flights to and from Reunion. However, the airline faced financial and operational difficulties, which led to its closure in 2004. These challenges included high fuel prices, competition from other airlines, and limited passenger demand.
  • The closure of Air Bourbon left a gap in the air travel market in Reunion, and other airlines took over its routes. Despite its relatively short lifespan, Air Bourbon remains significant in Reunion's aviation history.
