Fa'a'ā International Airport

Fa'a'ā International Airport (IATA: PPT, ICAO: NTAA) is the principal international airport serving Papeete, the capital of French Polynesia, located on the island of Tahiti. It is the busiest airport in French Polynesia and serves as the main hub for inter-island and international air travel across the territory. The airport is situated along the northwestern coast of Tahiti, built on reclaimed land adjacent to the lagoon, giving it a striking setting between the mountains and the sea. It handles millions of passengers annually and is the primary entry point for tourists visiting French Polynesia from destinations including France, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. Air Tahiti Nui, the flag carrier of French Polynesia, is headquartered near the airport and uses it as its main hub. Air Tahiti, the domestic inter-island carrier, also operates extensively from Fa'a'ā, connecting Papeete to dozens of atolls and islands across the territory.
