Remote atoll gateway in the Tuamotu Archipelago.

Location
Takaroa, French Polynesia
Takaroa Airport (IATA: TKX, ICAO: NTKR) serves the atoll of Takaroa in the Tuamotu Archipelago of French Polynesia. It is a small domestic airstrip providing essential air access to this remote coral island community in the South Pacific Ocean. The airport primarily handles light aircraft and small regional turboprop services connecting Takaroa to Papeete on the island of Tahiti and to neighboring atolls. Air Tahiti is the main carrier operating scheduled services to the island. Given the remote and low-population nature of Takaroa, the airport plays a critical role in linking islanders to medical services, supplies, and the broader Polynesian transport network, as maritime travel to the island can be lengthy and irregular.
Terminals
The airport has a single simple terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes of a small atoll community.
Getting to & from
Ground transport on Takaroa is extremely limited, with the small size of the atoll meaning most destinations are reachable by foot, bicycle, or local vehicle.
Airlines here
Air Tahiti is the primary airline serving Takaroa Airport, operating scheduled domestic routes connecting the atoll to Papeete and other Tuamotu atolls.
