Remote atoll gateway in the Tuamotu Archipelago.

Location

Reao, French Polynesia

Reao Airport (IATA: REA, ICAO: NTGE) serves the remote atoll of Reao in the Tuamotu Archipelago of French Polynesia. It provides the primary air link for the island's small population to the wider territory, connecting it to Papeete and other Tuamotu atolls. The airport features a single unpaved or gravel airstrip typical of remote Tuamotu island airports, capable of handling small propeller-driven aircraft. Air service is infrequent, reflecting the low population and limited demand on this isolated atoll. Reao is one of the more distant atolls in the Tuamotu group, situated in the eastern part of the archipelago. The airport plays a vital role in supplying the community with goods and facilitating medical evacuations when needed.

Terminals

The airport has minimal facilities with no formal terminal building, consistent with remote Tuamotu atoll airports.

Getting to & from

Ground transport on the atoll is extremely limited, with the airport located close to the main village and accessible on foot or by bicycle.

Airlines here

Air Tahiti operates the sole scheduled service connecting Reao to Papeete and other Tuamotu atolls.
