Air Tahiti has taken delivery of a new ATR 72-600, featuring an ATR HighLine All-Business Class cabin. Read More » Air Tahiti’s chosen configuration features 26 individual seats arranged in a 1-by-1 layout. The cabin offers direct aisle access for every passenger, with private rows for couples for enhanced privacy and more personal space, plus dedicated storage and USB A+C charging ports, complemented by an executive-style ceiling that makes the cabin feel more spacious and light-filled. The turboprop named “Anapanapa” will support the launch of ‘Air Tahiti Signature’, a new premium service created by the airline to connect Tahiti with some of French Polynesia’s most sought-after destinations, including Bora Bora and Raiatea-Tahaa. The first commercial flight is scheduled for December 2026.

The aircraft’s ferrying flight will take about six days, with nine stops: Toulouse, Cairo, Muscat, Hyderabad, Subang, Lombok, Cairns, Nadi, and Tahiti-Faa’a. In total, the aircraft will cover about 20,000km, with an expected arrival on October 19, 2026.
