Fangatau Airport
FGU is Fangatau Airport, a small airstrip serving Fangatau, a remote atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago of French Polynesia. The airport provides a critical lifeline for the atoll's small population, connecting it to Tahiti and other islands via infrequent inter-island flights operated by regional carriers. Fangatau is sparsely populated and geographically isolated, with limited maritime shipping schedules making air transport essential for mail, supplies, medical evacuation, and passenger travel. Facilities at FGU are minimal, consisting of a basic airstrip without the amenities of larger regional airports, reflecting the atoll's remote and low-traffic nature typical of many small islands scattered across French Polynesia's vast Pacific territory.
