About Fangatau Airport
Fangatau Airport is a small domestic airfield on the Fangatau atoll in the Tuamotu Islands of French Polynesia. It serves the atoll's main village, Teana, and provides the only regular air connection for this remote island community, located roughly 960 km from Tahiti.
Located close to Teana, the airport operates a single hard-surfaced runway of about 1,400 metres and handles scheduled flights operated by Air Tahiti. Its small, simple infrastructure is designed for inter-island travel within French Polynesia rather than international traffic.
Passengers arrive in a compact, limited-facility setting with a short ground transfer of approximately 2 km to the village centre. Transport is typically arranged in advance or coordinated with local guesthouses.
Despite its remote location, the airport provides an essential link for residents and visitors travelling through the Tuamotu archipelago and connecting onward to Tahiti.
