French Polynesia

View of Faa’a airport in Papeete, Tahiti

Faa’a International Airport (PPT) is the main gateway to French Polynesia. Situated on the island of Tahiti, it is the home base of Air Tahiti Nui and is served by numerous international airlines. From here, there are frequent links to the expansive French Polynesian archipelago, including Bora Bora. These pictures were taken from the Airport Hotel, with views of the airport and across to the imposing peaks of the island of Moorea.
