Maré Airport — Maré, New Caledonia

MEE serves Maré, one of the Loyalty Islands off the coast of Grande Terre in New Caledonia, a French special collectivity in the South Pacific. Maré Airport provides essential air links between the island and Nouméa, since ferry travel across open ocean is slower and less reliable. The airport is small, handling limited daily or near-daily turboprop flights operated by Air Calédonie, and serves a population reliant on tourism, fishing, and traditional Kanak agriculture. Maré itself is known for its coral-reef landscapes, caves, and relatively undeveloped tourism compared to other Pacific islands, and MEE remains the primary gateway for visitors and residents alike, alongside limited freight capacity for goods moving to and from the mainland.
