๐ข Terminal Information
Ahe Airport (AHE) is a small regional airfield on Ahe Atoll in French Polynesia, served primarily by Air Tahiti. Facilities consist of a single, simple terminal building adjacent to the runway with an open, islandโstyle design. Checkโin is handled at a small counter area, with passengers proceeding directly to the single departure room before boarding on foot across the apron. Arrivals exit into the same compact building where baggage is delivered in close proximity to the public area.\n\nThe layout is minimal and extremely easy to navigate. From the dropโoff area to checkโin is usually under 1 minute. From checkโin to the boarding area takes roughly 1โ2 minutes, and the walk from the terminal to the aircraft is typically 30โ60 seconds, depending on stand position. There are no buses, jet bridges, or transfersโeverything is at ground level with short walks.\n\nAs a domestic outstation, AHE does not provide TSAโstyle security screening for most departures and does not have immigration or customs facilities. Security is informal and consistent with local regulations for interโisland flights. International border formalities, when required for a journey, are completed at larger hub airports in Tahiti (PPT) or other designated points.\n\nAmenities are very limited. Expect basic seating, restrooms, and sometimes a small kiosk when flights are operating; there are no lounges, dutyโfree shops, or extensive dining options. Mobile coverage and WiโFi can be inconsistent. Ground transport is arranged directly with local guesthouses or by preโbooked transfers; there is no formal taxi rank.\n\nAccessibility is straightforward with groundโlevel access into the terminal. While dedicated accessibility infrastructure is limited, staff are accustomed to assisting passengers with reduced mobility. Family facilities are minimal; travelers should plan ahead for baby supplies and snacks, as there are no onโsite retail services.
