About Bora Bora Airport

Overview

Bora Bora Airport serves the iconic French Polynesian island of Bora Bora, located in the South Pacific. Situated on Motu Mute, a small islet adjacent to the main island, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for this remote tourism destination. The medium-sized airport operates at a low elevation of 10 feet mean sea level.

Flying Conditions

Meteorological data indicates highly favorable flying conditions, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions present 83.8% of the time. Prevailing easterly winds average 10.1 knots, with temperatures consistently ranging between 21°C and 31°C. Visibility typically remains excellent at 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility or fog.

Notable Features

The airport features two runways: a 4,921-foot asphalt runway (11/29) and a 3,000-foot coral runway (17/35). Its Pacific island location means pilots should anticipate potential marine layer development and potential wind variations typical of island environments. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, minimizing crosswind challenges.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect consistently stable approach conditions, particularly during September, November, and December, which represent the best VFR months. Runway 11/29 presents an average crosswind of 5.1 knots, while Runway 17/35 experiences a slightly higher average crosswind of 7.7 knots. The predictable wind patterns and excellent visibility make this a relatively straightforward airport for instrument-rated pilots.
