Worth knowing about Bora Bora
- Bora Bora's airport is built on Motu Mute, an islet in the lagoon, so every arriving passenger finishes the journey by boat rather than by road.
- The shuttle boat is free for the airline's passengers and takes about 15 minutes. Going out, it leaves the Vaitape dock 1 hour 15 minutes before the flight.
- The airfield opened in 1943 as a wartime military strip and only took commercial flights from 1958, after the runway was rebuilt.
- Before Faa'a opened in 1960, Bora Bora was the region's long haul gateway, with TAI Douglas DC-7C flights to Los Angeles via Honolulu.
