Remote island gateway in French Polynesia's Society Islands.

Location

Maupiti, French Polynesia

Maupiti Airport (IATA: MAU, ICAO: NTTP) serves the small island of Maupiti in the Leeward Islands group of French Polynesia. The airport provides the primary air link for this remote atoll community, connecting it to the wider Society Islands archipelago. The airport features a short runway that accommodates small turboprop aircraft, reflecting the limited infrastructure typical of outer island airports in French Polynesia. Air Moana and previously Air Tahiti have operated scheduled services linking Maupiti with Bora Bora and Papeete. Maupiti is one of the less-visited islands of French Polynesia, known for its pristine lagoon and traditional way of life. The airport plays a vital role in connecting the island's small population to essential services and tourism, though access remains limited compared to more developed destinations like Bora Bora.

Terminals

The airport has a single, small terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes of this remote island destination.

Getting to & from

Ground transport on Maupiti is minimal, with the airport located close to the main island, accessible by local vehicles or boat transfer to nearby motu.

Airlines here

Air Moana operates scheduled services connecting Maupiti with Bora Bora and Papeete (Tahiti).
