Question 8989 — overseas

Summary

Ms. Ramlati Ali draws the attention of the Minister, to the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, responsible for transport, to the project to extend the runway at Dzaoudzi-Pamandzi airport in Mayotte. This project is an old and recurring demand which is unanimously supported by Mahorese elected officials, going beyond partisan divisions, but also by the population, aware of the need to build this structuring investment. The extension will provide a runway that would be suitable for long-haul flights, particularly to mainland France. The construction of a long runway is a priority recalled in the State-Mayotte 2007-2013 project contract but also expressed by the population during the public debate on this subject organized in 2011 by the National Commission for Public Debate. The resulting report attested to the decision of continue the project to construct a long runway with two possible scenarios. Since then, despite numerous reminders made by Mahorais elected officials and the mobilization of the population, notably a recent demonstration in January 2018 demanding the extension of the track, the file remains pending. Several scenarios were presented to the General Directorate of Civil Aviation taking into account security issues while respecting European and environmental standards. At a time when the Government is rethinking its policy towards overseas territories through the Blue Book resulting from the major consultation of the Overseas Conferences, it is urgent to include this priority project by finding a lasting solution. With regard to the principle of territorial continuity, economic development of Mayotte and in particular of the tourism sector, this work is a necessity or even a prerequisite. She would like to know the Government's intentions and its action schedule regarding the construction of this long runway.
