Remote atoll gateway in the Tuamotu Archipelago.

Location

Fangatau, French Polynesia

Fangatau Airport (IATA: FGU, ICAO: NTGB) serves the small atoll of Fangatau in the Tuamotu Archipelago of French Polynesia. It is a remote domestic airstrip primarily connecting the isolated community to Papeete and other islands in the region. The airport features a single unpaved or basic paved runway and minimal infrastructure, typical of the small atoll airports scattered across French Polynesia. Air Tahiti operates scheduled services to Fangatau, making it the atoll's sole link to the broader transportation network. Given the tiny resident population of Fangatau, passenger traffic is very low, and the airport primarily serves local residents, government personnel, and occasional visitors to the atoll.

Terminals

The airport has no formal terminal building; passenger facilities are minimal, consisting of a basic open-air structure.

Getting to & from

Ground transport on Fangatau is extremely limited, with the small atoll community accessible primarily by foot or basic local vehicles from the airstrip.

Airlines here
