A single 945 m paved strip on Motu Tuanai, the long northeastern motu. A boat shuttle links it to Vaiea, so this is where crew fly in or out from Tahiti, Raiatea or Bora Bora.
Practical
IATA MAU, ICAO NTTP. Runway 08/26 is 945 m, paved (OSM). Air Tahiti operates the flights; Wikivoyage listed services from Tahiti (about 55 min), Bora Bora (about 20 min) and Raiatea (about 25 min) on set weekdays. Schedules change, so verify locally. A shuttle boat runs between Vaiea and the airport landing (OSM ferry route 'Navette Vai'ea - Aéroport'; Wikivoyage gives about 15 min). Crew can also be picked up by dinghy from the ZMR de Petei, which is across the channel. Le Manini restaurant, toilets and a book-swap shelf are at the terminal (OSM).
