Reao Airport

Reao Airport is a small domestic airstrip located on Reao Atoll, part of the Tuamotu Archipelago in French Polynesia. It serves as a vital transportation link for the remote island community, which has limited access to the outside world. The airport handles light aircraft and small regional turboprop services, primarily connecting Reao to Tahiti and other atolls in the Tuamotu group. Air Tahiti operates scheduled services to the island, providing essential passenger and cargo transport for local residents. Due to the atoll's low elevation and small population, the airport infrastructure is basic, with minimal facilities typical of remote Pacific island airstrips. It plays a critical logistical role in supplying the community with goods and medical evacuation capabilities.
