Air Tahiti (VT) and Air Tahiti Nui (TN) have signed a new codeshare agreement aimed at simplifying travel to Tahiti and its islands and offering passengers expanded connectivity. The agreement was signed on 22 December 2025 and will apply to bookings and travel starting from 2 June 2026.

Under the arrangement, Air Tahiti Nui will place its TN code on selected Air Tahiti inter-island and regional flights, allowing passengers to book international and onward island travel on a single ticket. In its initial phase, the codeshare will cover two key destinations from Papeete: Bora Bora, with up to six daily ATR 72-operated flights, and Rarotonga in the Cook Islands, with two weekly ATR 72 services.

Air Tahiti Nui continues to operate its long-haul network exclusively with Boeing 787-9 “Tahitian Dreamliner” aircraft, while Air Tahiti provides regional services using ATR 72 and ATR 42 aircraft. From December 2026, Air Tahiti plans to introduce an all-business-class option on selected flights.

Both airlines described the agreement as a major step forward in their long-standing commercial cooperation. Executives emphasised that the integrated networks will provide a smoother customer experience, enhance access to iconic destinations such as Bora Bora and Rarotonga, and form the basis for further joint network expansion in the future.
