Remote atoll gateway in the heart of the Tuamotu Archipelago.

Location

Raitahiti, French Polynesia

Kaukura Airport is a small domestic airport serving the atoll of Kaukura in the Tuamotu Archipelago of French Polynesia. It connects this remote coral atoll community to Tahiti and nearby islands, providing essential air access for residents and visitors. The airport handles light aircraft and turboprop operations typical of inter-island services in French Polynesia. Its runway is suited to small regional aircraft, and facilities are minimal, reflecting the low population and traffic levels of the atoll. Air Tahiti, the primary domestic carrier in French Polynesia, operates scheduled services to Kaukura, linking it to Papeete's Faa'a International Airport and other Tuamotu destinations.

Terminals

The airport has a single, basic terminal building with minimal passenger facilities appropriate for a remote atoll airport.

Getting to & from

Ground transport options are extremely limited, with the small atoll community reachable primarily on foot or by local vehicle from the airstrip.

Airlines here

Air Tahiti is the sole scheduled airline serving Kaukura Airport, operating inter-island routes within French Polynesia.
