Air Tahiti Nui is a French airline with its head office in Papeete, Tahiti. It operates long-haul flights from its home base at Faa'a International Airport. Air Tahiti Nui was established on 31 October 1996 and commenced flight operations on 20 November 1998. It was the first international long-haul airline based in French Polynesia, which was formed to develop inbound tourism. With the introduction of the airline's Boeing 787-9 aircraft in October 2018, the airline's new livery incorporated markings derived from traditional Tahitian tattoos to the fuselage. Air Tahiti Nui's names for its aircraft are predominantly derived from various islands and atolls across French Polynesia. An exception is F-ONUI, a Boeing 787-9 named after Tupaia, a historical Tahitian navigator.
