Ouvea Airport

Ouvea Airport, opened in the 1970s, is a compact regional airfield serving the scenic Ouvéa atoll in New Caledonia’s Loyalty Islands, with a single small terminal handling domestic flights and charters. Though limited in size, it’s a crucial transport hub for island residents and visitors, offering quick connections to Nouméa and nearby islands via regional carrier Air Loyauté and other domestic operators. Ground access from nearby villages is simple — short taxi rides or local minibuses — and the airport’s convenience makes it a time-saving alternative to boat travel. Fares are generally affordable on local routes, although prices can spike during peak season.
