About Tetiaroa Airport
Tetiaroa Airport (TTI) is the small atoll airfield serving Tetiaroa, a private atoll in the Windward group of the Society Islands in French Polynesia. It is best known as the arrival point for guests of The Brando resort, with short flights operated by Air Tetiaroa from Faa'a International Airport in Papeete.
Located roughly 50 km north of Tahiti, the airfield sits on the atoll and uses a compact asphalt runway. The short flight between Papeete and Tetiaroa takes around 20 minutes, offering a scenic approach over the lagoon and surrounding motus.
Because the atoll is private and has no deep pass for large vessels, air travel is the main practical connection. On arrival, guests are met by resort staff and continue to their accommodation by arranged transfer, while departure passengers return through the same small passenger area.
Tetiaroa Airport is a small, low-key facility rather than a major commercial terminal. Most passenger services, dining, shopping and lounges are available at The Brando resort and at Faa'a International Airport in Tahiti.
Terminal Overview
Terminals
