Aéroports de Tahiti (ADT)
ADT is confirmed as the operator/concession holder of Bora Bora airport, having taken over management from the French State via a 2020 decree (en.wikipedia.org Bora-Bora Airport article confirms ADT as 'gestionnaire'; service-public.pf / tahiti-infos. As concession holder, ADT's Security Division is mandated to implement airport-security regulatory compliance across ADT-managed aerodromes, but station-specific screening/checkpoint arrangements at Bora Bora specifically are not independently documented on ADT's own site.

Gendarmerie Nationale – Brigade de Bora-Bora (Compagnie des Îles Sous-le-Vent)
The local Brigade de Bora-Bora is a genuine, station-specific gendarmerie post. Regional press (la1ere.franceinfo.fr) reports gendarmerie operations inspecting passengers, baggage and aircraft in French Polynesia, including at outer-island airports, typically framed as periodic anti-trafficking control operations rather than a standing/dedicated aviation-security-screening role; downgraded from 'available' to 'unconfirmed' pending a station-specific primary source for an ongoing security function at Bora Bora airport itself.
