Pukaruha Airport is a small airstrip located on Pukaruha atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago of French Polynesia. It serves as a lifeline connection for the atoll's small resident population, providing access to the wider network of French Polynesian islands. The airport operates with minimal infrastructure typical of remote atoll strips in the region. Air service is infrequent, generally provided by small inter-island carriers linking Pukaruha to Papeete and nearby atolls. Given the extremely remote and sparsely populated nature of the atoll, passenger volumes are very low and facilities are basic, reflecting the airport's primary role as a functional access point rather than a commercial hub.
