Remote coral atoll gateway in the Tuamotu Archipelago.

Location

Ahe Atoll, French Polynesia

Ahe Airport is a small domestic airstrip serving Ahe Atoll, part of the Tuamotu Archipelago in French Polynesia. It provides essential air access to this remote coral atoll, which is known for pearl farming and its pristine lagoon environment. The airport handles light aircraft and small regional turboprops, connecting Ahe to Papeete and other islands in French Polynesia. It is a critical lifeline for the small local population, as sea travel to the atoll can be lengthy and weather-dependent. Facilities are minimal, consistent with its role as a remote airstrip serving a small island community. Passenger volumes are low, and the airport primarily supports scheduled regional flights and occasional charter operations.

Terminals

The airport has a single basic terminal building typical of remote Tuamotu island airstrips.

Getting to & from

Ground transport on the atoll is limited to locally arranged vehicles or boats, as the island has no formal public transit system.

Airlines here

Air Tahiti is the primary carrier operating scheduled service to Ahe Airport.
