Remote coral atoll airstrip serving the Tuamotu Archipelago.

Location

Naiu Atoll, French Polynesia

Naiu Airport is a small airstrip located on Naiu Atoll, part of the Tuamotu Archipelago in French Polynesia. It serves as the primary means of air access to this remote and sparsely populated coral atoll, which is otherwise accessible only by sea. The airport handles light aircraft and small regional turboprop services connecting Naiu to Papeete and other islands in French Polynesia. Passenger volumes are very low, reflecting the atoll's small resident population. Infrastructure at the airport is minimal, consistent with other remote Tuamotu airstrips, with no significant terminal facilities or commercial services beyond the basic runway and apron.

Terminals

The airport has no formal terminal building, only basic open-air facilities typical of remote Tuamotu atolls.

Getting to & from

Ground transport on the atoll is extremely limited, with travel by foot or bicycle being the primary means of reaching the village from the airstrip.

Airlines here

Air Tahiti operates occasional scheduled services connecting Naiu Atoll to Papeete and neighboring atolls.
