From May 20 to 22, key players in the air transport sector will gather in La Réunion for the 6th edition of the Rencontres des Aéroports Français & Francophones 2026. Hosted at the Musée Stella Matutina, this event is a key opportunity to discuss major industry challenges and share experience among professionals.
Artelia will be there to contribute to collective discussions and support ongoing transformations in airports, both in mainland France and overseas.

A key event at the heart of airport challenges
This edition, organized in an overseas territory for the first time in ten years, highlights the diversity of airport contexts and the specific challenges they face. Territorial constraints, infrastructure resilience, energy transition, and traffic evolution will be central topics throughout the event.

The program, structured around plenary sessions and workshops, will take a highly operational approach, closely aligned with the realities faced by operators and industry stakeholders.

Airport expertise supporting sector transformation
Artelia has recognized expertise in the airport sector and has been supporting air transport stakeholders for many years in their development, modernization, and optimization projects.

With a team of 200 specialists, Artelia covers the entire lifecycle of airport platforms—from strategic planning to the design and delivery of complex infrastructure. This includes terminals, runways, taxiways, and associated systems and facilities. The company works alongside all types of stakeholders, including operators, contractors, and investors.

Artelia also has strong experience with island and overseas airports, where challenges such as territorial continuity, climate resilience, and logistical constraints require tailored solutions. The support provided to Roland-Garros Airport illustrates this ability to operate in complex environments exposed to climate risks, land constraints, and operational continuity requirements—while integrating energy transition and regional development considerations. This integrated approach enables Artelia to deliver concrete, tailored solutions adapted to each airport platform, whether regional, national, or overseas.
