Remote atoll airstrip serving Takapoto in the Tuamotu Archipelago.

Location
Takapoto, French Polynesia
Takapoto Airport (IATA: TKP, ICAO: NTGT) is a small domestic airport serving the atoll of Takapoto in the Tuamotu Archipelago of French Polynesia. It provides the primary air link for the island's small resident population to the rest of the country, particularly Papeete on Tahiti. The airport operates with a single unpaved or lightly paved airstrip typical of remote Tuamotu atolls, accommodating small turboprop aircraft. Air Tahiti, the principal domestic carrier of French Polynesia, serves this destination as part of its inter-island network. Takapoto is a sparsely populated coral atoll known for pearl farming, and the airport plays a vital logistical role in connecting residents and visitors to broader services and commerce.
Terminals
The airport has a simple, basic terminal facility with minimal amenities, consistent with other remote atoll airports in the Tuamotu group.
Getting to & from
Ground transport on Takapoto is extremely limited, with the island's small size meaning most destinations are accessible by foot or local vehicle.
Airlines here
Air Tahiti operates regular inter-island flights connecting Takapoto to Papeete (Faa'a) and other Tuamotu destinations.
