Remote atoll gateway in the Tuamotu Archipelago.

Location

Puka Puka, French Polynesia

Puka Puka Airport serves the remote atoll of Puka Puka in the Tuamotu Archipelago of French Polynesia. The airport provides essential air access to this isolated community, which has very limited transportation links to the outside world. The airport handles small aircraft operations, primarily serving inter-island flights connecting Puka Puka to Papeete and other atolls in the Tuamotu chain. Air Tahiti operates scheduled services to this destination, making it a critical lifeline for residents. Given the extremely small population and remote location of Puka Puka, the airport sees very low passenger volumes and minimal infrastructure compared to larger French Polynesian airports.

Terminals

The airport has minimal terminal facilities consistent with its small, remote atoll setting.

Getting to & from

Ground transport on Puka Puka is extremely limited given the small size of the atoll and its tiny resident population.
