Remote coral atoll gateway in the Tuamotu Archipelago.

Location
Ahe Atoll, French Polynesia
Ahe Airport is a small domestic airstrip serving Ahe Atoll, one of the islands of the Tuamotu Archipelago in French Polynesia. It provides essential air connectivity for the atoll's small resident population, primarily engaged in pearl farming, and for visitors seeking access to this remote Pacific destination. The airport operates with minimal infrastructure, handling light aircraft and small regional turboprops. Air Tahiti is the primary carrier linking Ahe to Papeete's Faa'a International Airport and occasionally to other nearby atolls. Given the atoll's isolation and small population, the airport sees limited traffic and has very basic facilities. It plays a vital logistical role in supplying the community and supporting the local black pearl aquaculture industry.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building with basic passenger amenities suited to a remote island airstrip.
Getting to & from
Ground transport on the atoll is extremely limited, with travelers relying on local boat transfers and private arrangements to reach village accommodations.
Airlines here
Air Tahiti operates scheduled domestic services connecting Ahe to Papeete and other Tuamotu islands.
