Air Tahiti operates flights to Fakarava 6 times weekly from Papeete. However, keep in mind that if you are arriving from any of the other islands, you still have to connect and originate your flight to the Tuamotos from Papeete.
We departed the island of Maupiti and had to change planes 3 times before arriving into Fakarava. Maupiti to Raiatea to Papeete to Rangiroa to Fakarava.
All those planes for a 1 hour 20 min flight!
