Airport contact
Single runway 12/30 (1230 x 30 m asphalt, field elevation 9 ft/3 m, PAPI both ends, no ILS) limits traffic to ATR72-class turboprops and smaller, flown almost entirely by Air Tahiti and Air Moana on the roughly 7-minute hop to Tahiti-Faa'a (PPT) plus onward Leeward Islands connections; all customs/immigration is handled at PPT, since Moorea has no international facilities of its own. The aerodrome is operated by SETIL Aeroports under a concession from the Government (Pays) of French Polynesia in place since 1977, distinct from the separate Aeroport de Tahiti (ADT) concession covering Tahiti-Faa'a; no subsequent operator change is independently confirmed. Annual traffic fell from a mid-2000s peak of 228,813 (2006) through a later multi-year decline before recovering; the 83,213 figure carried here for 2024 sits within a plausible recovery range but is not matched to a dated ISPF/DGAC primary release, so pax.year should be treated as an estimate pending confirmation.

Air Tahiti
Self-handled, Air Tahiti — historically the sole scheduled carrier at Moorea and still the dominant operator (multiple daily ATR42/72 rotations to/from Tahiti, one of the world's shortest scheduled flights at ~7 min). The airline runs its own check-in and ramp operations network-wide; its ground-services/FBO arm (fbo-tahiti.com) documents this model explicitly for Bora Bora, Rangiroa, Fakarava and Nuku Hiva but does not itemise Moorea, so the exact local staffing model at this station is unconfirmed beyond the airline's standard self-handling practice.

Air Moana
Self-handled, Air Moana — the carrier's own "Air Moana Agency" desk is confirmed on Air Moana's served-airports page as one of Moorea Airport's three listed terminal services (Air Moana Agency, taxi stand, restrooms), covering check-in and turnaround for its ATR-72 flights since Moorea joined the network in 2023.

Air Tahiti
Air Tahiti self-handles its own turnarounds at Moorea with no independent handler present at the station, and interior cabin cleaning/lavatory servicing is a universal part of that turnaround process; however the carrier's ground-services arm (fbo-tahiti.com) documents cleaning as a standard offering only for its Bora Bora, Rangiroa, Fakarava and Nuku Hiva stations and does not list Moorea, so this line is inferred from general self-handling practice rather than confirmed documentation for this station.

Air Tahiti
Air Tahiti Fret carries freight and mail on the carrier's scheduled ATR services between Tahiti and Moorea as part of its core interisland network; no independent freight-forwarder company was found operating at Moorea, so this is self-handled by the airline. Not confirmed at contract-detail level for this specific station.

SETIL Aéroports (Fenua Airports)
Airport operator — SETIL (Société d'Équipement de Tahiti et des Îles), commercially branded Fenua Airports, has managed Moorea/Temae airport since 1977 (confirmed via encyclopaedic sources independent of the operator's own site). Small French Polynesian territorial aerodromes of this kind typically have their security-screening post (PIF) run by the airport operator itself; no Moorea-specific security contract or certificate was located to confirm this directly, so it is flagged unconfirmed rather than dropped given SETIL's clearly documented operator status at this airport.
