Remote atoll gateway in the Tuamotu Archipelago.

Location
Manihi, French Polynesia
Manihi Airport (IATA: XMH, ICAO: NTGI) serves the atoll of Manihi in the Tuamotu Archipelago of French Polynesia. It is a small domestic airport providing essential air access to this isolated coral atoll, which is renowned for its black pearl farming industry and clear lagoon waters popular with divers. The airport operates primarily through inter-island services connecting Manihi to Tahiti's Faa'a International Airport and other Tuamotu destinations. Given the atoll's remote location and lack of ferry infrastructure, air transport is the primary means of reaching the island for visitors and residents alike. The facility is modest in scale, reflecting the small population of Manihi and the limited but steady flow of tourists attracted to its pearl farms and marine environment.
Terminals
The airport features a single small terminal building suited to low-volume inter-island traffic.
Getting to & from
Ground transport on the atoll is extremely limited, with transfers typically arranged through local hotels or guesthouses.
Airlines here
Air Tahiti is the primary carrier operating scheduled domestic services to and from Manihi Airport.
