Anaa Airport — Anaa, French Polynesia

Anaa Airport occupies a low coral atoll in French Polynesia's Tuamotu Archipelago, its single runway sitting just 10 feet above the surrounding Pacific. The strip forms the main air link between Anaa and the outside world, part of a French Pacific territory where dozens of similarly low-lying atolls scatter across the Tuamotus, far from the main island of Tahiti. For the small population living here, the airport functions as the primary gateway, carrying passengers and essential supplies rather than relying only on inter-island shipping. Its medium-airport classification says more about scheduling infrastructure than about the size of the community it actually reaches.
