Remote coral atoll airstrip serving eastern Tuamotu Archipelago.

Location

Tatakoto, French Polynesia

Tatakoto Airport is a small, remote airstrip located on Tatakoto Atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago of French Polynesia. It serves the isolated local population of the atoll, providing their primary link to the outside world via air service. The airport operates under the IATA code TKV and ICAO code NTGO. Air Tahiti, the main regional carrier of French Polynesia, provides scheduled service connecting Tatakoto to Papeete and other islands in the archipelago. Given the extremely small and remote nature of the atoll, the airport has minimal infrastructure, with no significant terminal facilities. It plays a vital logistical and humanitarian role for the atoll's small community.
