The Degage Company Launches Tahiti Air Charter

The Degage company is launching Tahiti Air Charter, a seaplane company in French Polynesia. Tahiti Air Charter received the Air Carrier Certificate (AOC) on April 4, 2018, enabling the group to start its commercial activities and become the first French seaplane airline in 50 years.

Based in Raiatea, Tahiti Air Charter is offering flights and day tours over and around Bora Bora and the Society Islands. The company also offers private inter-island charter flights.

With a capacity of 8 passengers and the ability to land on both earth and water, the Cessna 208 caravan amphibian, also known as one of the quietest in its class, is the ideal transport for the perfect and exclusive getaway in Polynesia, providing security, comfort and modernity.

Tahiti Air Charter is an environmentally-friendly project, as seaplanes respect the fauna and flora of the lagoons and do not require the destruction of palm trees forests for landing strip construction. With water landing areas mainly located in the Society Islands, the objective of Tahiti Air Charter is to expand this capacity and its air fleet in order to serve the sustainable development of tourism in French Polynesia.
