editAir Tetiaroa mostly operates flights on demand, for a varied, demanding clientele, that includes luxury tourists, private business travelers, companies, Polynesian administrations and the French State. As a result, Air Tetiaroa flies to all the airfields in French Polynesia and provides services to the populations of the five archipelagos. There are some schedule services between Faa'a International Airport and Tetiaroa island.
History
editAir Tetiaroa was founded in 2013 by Pacific Beachcomber, a hotel and resort company that owns several luxury resorts in French Polynesia, including The Brando Resort, which is located on Tetiaroa. The airline was created to provide transportation services for guests of The Brando, as well as other visitors to the island.[1] It officially commenced operations in 2014.
