  "connection_tips": "Tupai Airport serves an uninhabited atoll with no public ground transportation or infrastructure. Most visitors arrive as part of pre-arranged day tours that include both air or sea transport and local guide services Operationally, a pre-arranged pickup or host contact is the useful backup, because the airport is really the handoff into Tupai Atoll rather than a place to wait around. The meaningful alternates are Bora Bora Airport, Maupiti Airport, which is why the backup plan matters more than the terminal amenities. Scheduled service is carried by Local carriers, so the first bank of the day is the one to watch. That makes weather and daylight the real constraints, with the village or resort side of the trip doing most of the work.\n\nIf you are arriving by private charter, it is essential to have a return plan or boat pickup coordinated in advance, as there are no services or accommodations available on the atoll When delays ripple through the schedule, a pre-arranged pickup or host contact is the useful backup, because the airport is really the handoff into Tupai Atoll rather than a place to wait around.

  "terminal_info": "Tupai Airport is a unique and remote aviation facility located on the uninhabited Tupai Atoll, approximately 16 km (10 miles) north of Bora Bora. The airfield consists of a basic, unpaved coral airstrip that was originally constructed for private use. Due to its status as a protected nature reserve and a private atoll, the airport does not host any scheduled commercial passenger services and is primarily used for private charters, emergency landings, and specialized 'honeymoon' day trips for visitors staying on nearby islands.\n\nThe facility lacks any formal terminal building or traditional passenger amenities. There are no permanent staff, waiting areas, or retail services on the atoll. Travelers arriving here are typically part of an organized excursion and must bring all necessary supplies, including water and sun protection, as there is no infrastructure to support extended stays. The natural beauty of the atoll, known for its heart-shaped outline from the air, remains the primary draw for the limited number of authorized visitors.\n\nOperational characteristics are extremely limited, with the airstrip being suitable only for small, rugged aircraft capable of operating on unpaved surfaces. Flights are restricted to daylight hours and are highly dependent on favorable weather and visibility. Because the atoll is uninhabited and has no permanent residents, the airfield remains one of the most quiet and isolated aviation points in French Polynesia, serving more as a symbolic landmark than a functional transit hub.",
