Remote atoll airstrip serving the Tuamotu Archipelago.

Location

Takapoto, French Polynesia

Takapoto Airport is a small domestic airport located on Takapoto Atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago of French Polynesia. It serves the isolated community of Takapoto, providing essential air links to Papeete and neighboring atolls. The airport operates a basic airstrip suitable for light and turboprop aircraft, reflecting the modest scale of the island it serves. Air Tahiti is the primary carrier connecting Takapoto to the rest of French Polynesia. Takapoto Atoll is known for its black pearl farming industry, and the airport plays a vital role in supporting local commerce and tourism on this remote Pacific island.

Terminals

The airport has a single basic terminal building with minimal passenger facilities, typical of remote atoll airstrips in the Tuamotu Archipelago.

Getting to & from

Ground transport on the atoll is extremely limited, with the small village of Takapoto being accessible primarily by bicycle or foot from the airstrip.

Airlines here

Air Tahiti is the sole airline serving Takapoto Airport, operating inter-island turboprop flights connecting the atoll to Papeete and other Tuamotu destinations.
