Faa'a International Airport (Aéroport international de Tahiti-Faa'a) PPT / NTAA

One of only two ADT-approved ground-handling operators at PPT (and other ADT islands); 'global assistance excluding aircraft maintenance' - full ramp/passenger/baggage handling for based and non-based aircraft. Listed on the official Tahiti Aeroports (ADT) ground-handling and business-aviation pages. · 24/7

Second of the two ADT-approved ground-handling operators at PPT; full-service FBO at the North Zone with executive lounge, customs liaison and rapid tech-stop turnaround (advertised ~1h quick turn). Listed on ADT business-aviation page.

Into-plane refuelling operator at PPT named on the official ADT ground-handling page ('refuelling and boarding aviation fuel'); supplies Jet-A1 and AVGAS for all aircraft types (used by Air Tahiti FBO as its fuel partner). Listed at NTAA by AC-U-KWIK. (Note: 'sole supplier' and the specific AIP-citation wording could not be independently confirmed; TASC sources fuel via Exxon Mobil/Petropol, so SOMSTAT is the principal but not provably exclusive into-plane operator.)

Not a maintenance provider itself (ground handling is explicitly 'excluding aircraft maintenance'); offers access to a maintenance hangar plus technical assistance, aviation tooling, hydraulic oils and customs facilitation for imported parts for transiting aircraft.

Hangar plus maintenance services with EASA Part-145 capability via subsidiary Polynesie Perles; jacks/tooling for jets transiting Tahiti incl. Bombardier, Gulfstream and Dassault, with limited Citation/Embraer capability (per tascfbo.com).

Operates the Centre Industriel de Papeete (CIP) on the Faa'a platform and is listed by ADT under 'oil fuel and aircraft maintenance'. Wikipedia (current as of 2026) still lists Papeete as a site dedicated to maintaining French Ministry of Defence aircraft. However, the operation has contracted sharply: it lost the French Navy Falcon Gardian maintenance contract to Jet Aviation (effective ~June 2024) with ~60-67 layoffs, so the scale of current third-party line maintenance at PPT is uncertain. Presence is for defence/government aircraft, not general commercial line handling.

Engine & propeller shop — in-house Part-145 Technical Center (Centre Technique) at Faa'a servicing Air Tahiti's own ATR 42/72 fleet on a 400-flight-hour basic maintenance cycle, including Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127 engine work and ATR propeller maintenance; French Wikipedia and manufacturer sources credit the shop as manufacturer-recognized, having reportedly performed heavier maintenance for other South Pacific ATR operators. A large in-house mechanic workforce is reported at Faa'a (a widely cited ~110 figure could not be independently confirmed). Holds a French Part-145 maintenance approval covering its own fleet (exact approval number FR.145.0168 and class-rating scope, plus the cited FR.147.0018 training approval, are unconfirmed in public registers as of). Note: a separate 'regional center of excellence' MRO expansion, reportedly the subject of a late-2025 declaration of intent with the French State and French Polynesia government, could not be independently verified and in any case has no hangar space built yet — this entry reflects current in-house capability, not that future project.

Component/accessory maintenance shop — in-house Part-145 maintenance center at Faa'a (100% subsidiary of Air Tahiti, confirmed), with 22 of the company's 38 staff dedicated to maintenance and flight preparation (confirmed via the company's own maintenance page), servicing its own Beechcraft B200 King Air and Beechcraft 260 aircraft (PT6A-powered, used for inter-island passenger, cargo-door and medical-configuration flights); the company describes it as one of the largest Part-145 facilities in French Polynesia after Air Tahiti's own. Correction: the fleet serviced is King Air / Beechcraft 260, not DHC-6 Twin Otter — the Twin Otter is operated by parent Air Tahiti, not Air Archipels. Holds a French Part-145 maintenance approval and a separate CAMO approval (exact approval numbers FR.145.0172 / FR.CAMO.0052 and class-rating scope unconfirmed in public registers as of).

Helicopter component shop — maintenance capability at Faa'a Airport (North area; part of the Air Tahiti Nui & HBG France group per the company's own site) supporting the dynamic and airframe components of its own 3-helicopter fleet used for scenic flights, inter-island transfers, aerial work (load transport, aerial filming, firefighting, parachute-drop support) and medical evacuation. Caveat: the company's public website does not itself describe a dedicated in-house Part-145 'atelier' or cite approval numbers, so the previously-cited FR.145.0810 (Part-145) and FR.CAMO.0175 (CAMO) approvals, and the 'Immeuble Tua Rata' building reference, are unconfirmed — plausible for a commercial helicopter operator of this size but not independently verified; class rating unconfirmed.

Airport in-flight catering supplier named on the official ADT ground-handling page; airline catering with two production units and capacity of ~15,000 meals/day (per newrest.eu). · 24/7

Full cabin interior cleaning and sanitation with on-demand laundry; cabin dressing on request (per fbo-tahiti.com).

Operates boarding ramps, baggage conveyors/belt loaders, highloaders, GPU, air-start units (ASU), pushback/baggage tractors with towbars, nitrogen carts and lavatory/water service trucks (per fbo-tahiti.com).
