Hiva Oa-Atuona Airport (IATA: AUQ, ICAO: NTMN) is a small regional airport serving Hiva Oa, the second-largest of the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia. It is the primary air link to the island, connecting it to the wider archipelago and to Tahiti via inter-island flights. The airport is situated near the village of Atuona, a culturally significant town known as the final home of French Post-Impressionist painter Paul Gauguin and Belgian singer Jacques Brel. The island's remote location in the South Pacific makes the airport essential for residents and visitors alike, as maritime transport is infrequent and lengthy. Air Tahiti, the main domestic carrier of French Polynesia, operates scheduled services from Hiva Oa-Atuona, linking it to Papeete's Fa'a'ā International Airport and other Marquesas Islands destinations. The runway accommodates small turboprop aircraft suited to the short strip and challenging terrain.
