Nouméa Magenta Airport — Nouméa, New Caledonia

Nouméa Magenta Airport (GEA) is the smaller of Nouméa's two airports, located close to the city center in New Caledonia, a French territory in the South Pacific. While international and long-haul flights use La Tontouta International Airport further from downtown, GEA primarily handles domestic routes connecting Nouméa to other towns and outlying islands within New Caledonia, including the Loyalty Islands and the Isle of Pines. Its convenient in-town location makes GEA popular for short island-hopping trips and general aviation activity, contrasting with La Tontouta's role for intercontinental travel. GEA's compact size and proximity to the harbor reflect its origins as an older airfield predating the larger international facility built to handle jet-era long-distance traffic.
