Remote coral atoll airstrip serving isolated French Polynesia.

Location

Takume, French Polynesia

Takume Airport is a small airstrip located on Takume Atoll, part of the Tuamotu Archipelago in French Polynesia. It serves the tiny, sparsely populated coral atoll community, providing essential air access to an otherwise extremely isolated location in the South Pacific Ocean. The airport operates as a basic domestic facility, primarily handling light aircraft and small turboprop services connecting Takume to Papeete and other Tuamotu islands. It plays a vital logistical role for residents who depend on air travel for access to medical care, supplies, and inter-island connectivity. Given its remote location and very small population, the airport sees minimal scheduled traffic and operates with limited infrastructure typical of outer island airstrips in French Polynesia.

Terminals

The airport has no formal terminal building, featuring only basic airstrip infrastructure suited to small aircraft operations.

Getting to & from

Ground transport options on the atoll are extremely limited, with travel typically on foot or by local vehicle given the tiny size of the community.

Airlines here

Air Tahiti is the primary carrier serving Takume Airport with inter-island turboprop services connecting to Papeete and neighboring atolls.
