Aéroport De Tahiti

What Aéroport De Tahiti does

Aéroport De Tahiti, operating the Aéroport International de Tahiti-Faa'a, is the primary international gateway to French Polynesia and the central interchange for the territory's air connectivity across 118 islands. The airport is owned by the Collectivité d'outre-mer de Polynésie française and operated under a government concession by Egis Airport Operations, an international airport management and engineering group. It serves a dual market: domestic inter-island flights (operated primarily by Air Tahiti across 40+ islands) and international long-haul routes linking French Polynesia to Paris, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Auckland, and Honolulu via carriers including Air Tahiti Nui, Air France, United Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, Air New Zealand, and French Bee.

The airport's core technology stack consists of conventional airport management and operations infrastructure — runway and airfield operations, terminal management, cargo handling, and air traffic support services. Public-facing products include real-time flight information (departures and arrivals), immigration and customs formalities, baggage and security services, a VIP lounge (Salon Air Tahiti Nui), personalized welcome services, currency exchange, car rental, Wi-Fi, and duty-free and F&B retail. Operational B2B products include ground handling, aviation assistance, and cargo freight services sold to commercial airlines under negotiated agreements.

Revenue is generated across five transaction-based streams: (1) regulated aeronautical charges including passenger service charges, landing, and takeoff fees; (2) commercial concessions covering retail, dining, duty-free, and lounges; (3) on-site parking and ground transport; (4) cargo freight handling; and (5) general and business aviation fees. Pricing is governed under the French Polynesia airport concession framework with limited public disclosure of individual rate cards. The customer base splits between ~10 commercial airline partners on the B2B side and a highly diffuse passenger base of approximately 1.58 million annual travelers. H1 2026 traffic stood at 792,158 regular passengers and 11,664 aircraft movements, with aircraft movements up 5% year-over-year.
