About Kauehi Airport
Kauehi Airport is the small domestic airfield serving Kauehi Atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago of French Polynesia. Opened in 2001, it provides an important air link between this remote atoll community and the wider French Polynesian domestic network. Located approximately 6 km northwest of the main village of Tearavero, the airport has a single paved runway and a compact passenger terminal. It is an uncontrolled civil aerodrome used for domestic services, with no customs or immigration facilities. Ground transport on the atoll is limited. A road connects the airport to Tearavero, and most visitors arrange guesthouse transfers or private transport in advance, as regular public bus and taxi services are not available. Despite its modest facilities, the airport is a convenient arrival point for travelers visiting Kauehi's lagoon, village and guesthouses, with onward flights and boats linking the atoll to other islands in the Tuamotu.
