Remote atoll gateway in the Tuamotu Archipelago.

Location

Takaroa, French Polynesia

Takaroa Airport (IATA: TKX, ICAO: NTKR) is a small domestic airport serving the atoll of Takaroa in the Tuamotu Archipelago of French Polynesia. It provides essential air access to this remote coral atoll, which has no practical alternative means of regular transport connection to Tahiti and other islands. The airport supports the local community, which relies on pearl farming as its primary economic activity. Air Tahiti operates scheduled flights linking Takaroa to Papeete and other destinations within the Tuamotu island group, making it a vital lifeline for residents and occasional visitors. The facility is a simple, small-scale airstrip typical of remote Tuamotu atolls, with minimal infrastructure suited to light aircraft and small turboprop operations.

Terminals

The airport has a single basic terminal building with very limited passenger facilities typical of a remote atoll airstrip.

Getting to & from

Ground transport on the atoll is minimal, with local vehicles and boats providing access to the small village and lagoon areas.

Airlines here

Air Tahiti is the primary and likely sole airline operating scheduled services at Takaroa Airport.
