Rangiroa Airport
Rangiroa Airport serves Rangiroa, one of the largest atolls in the world, located in the Tuamotu archipelago of French Polynesia. RGI supports domestic Air Tahiti flights connecting the atoll to Tahiti and other islands, primarily serving a growing dive tourism industry drawn to Rangiroa's famous lagoon passes, including the Tiputa Pass known for encounters with sharks and dolphins. The airport is a modest facility with a single runway, reflecting the atoll's low population and limited infrastructure, but tourism has made RGI one of the busier outer-island airports in French Polynesia relative to its size. Pearl farming, another local industry, also depends on the air links RGI provides.
