Tikehau Airport — Tuherahera, French Polynesia

Tikehau Airport serves Tikehau Atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago of French Polynesia, a coral atoll renowned for its pink-sand beaches and rich marine biodiversity. TIH provides essential air access for this remote South Pacific destination, connecting Tikehau to Papeete on Tahiti and other Polynesian islands, since boat travel across the vast archipelago can be slow and impractical. The atoll draws visitors interested in diving, snorkeling, and pearl farming, with its lagoon considered one of the richest in fish life within French Polynesia. The airport itself is a small facility with a single runway typical of remote atoll airstrips throughout the region. TIH remains a crucial lifeline supporting both tourism and local community needs on this idyllic Pacific atoll.
