The Saint-Denis airport flies the flag of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Reunion, white with the logo of the CCI, next to the French and European Union flags.

CCI Reunion manages, on behalf of the French state, the Roland- Garros (formerly, Gillot) airport at Saint-Denis, the main airport of the island, and Port Réunion, the main port of the island, located at Le Port. The name "Port Réunion" was adopted in 1995; the port is indeed made of the Western Port, built at the end of the 19th century, and of the Eastern Port, inaugurated in 1986.
CCI also represents the 24,000 registered commercial companies of the island.

The other airport of the island, Saint-Pierre-Pierrefonds, flies the flag of the Syndicat Mixte de Pierrefonds, white with the logo of the association.

The 11 municipalities members of the Syndicat Mixte de Pierrefonds are Les Avirons, Cilaos, Entre-Deux, Étang-Salé, Petite-Île, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Leu, Saint-Louis, Saint-Philippe, Saint-Pierre and Le Tampon. The association was created in 1995 to develop the southern part of the island, the southerners claiming that the capital (Saint-Denis, located on the northern shore of the island) monopolized the main infrastructures and administrative resources. The main goal of the association is the development and management, direct or indirect, of the Saint-Pierre Pierrefonds airport, which explains the name of the association and the stylized airplane on its flag.
The Pierrefonds airport, formerly an airfield of the Air Force, inaugurated on 20 December 1998, directly serves airports in Mauritius and Madagascar, via Air Austral, Air Mauritius and Air Madagascar.
