Fleet
Air Tahiti (IATA: VT, ICAO: VTA) is the leading regional carrier serving French Polynesia. Founded in 1953, the airline has grown into the territory's essential connectivity backbone, operating from its hub at Faa'a International Airport in Tahiti.
The airline's network spans 48 islands across a territory as vast as Europe or North America, connecting more than 90% of the population. This extensive island-hopping network makes Air Tahiti indispensable for both residents and visitors navigating French Polynesia's geography, where inter-island flights replace road travel entirely.
Air Tahiti operates a fleet of modern turboprop aircraft, comprising ATR 72-600s and ATR 42-600s, supplemented by De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otters and King Air B200GTs for smaller routes. These aircraft are ideally suited to the airline's mission: reliable service to remote airstrips with short runways across the South Pacific region.
