Far and Wide 10 NTAA to SCIP

This is a virtual airline achievement created by Fliggity Air.

The Tahitian government has chartered your long range aircraft to fly a group of diplomats to Easter Island where they will be meeting with Chilean officials to discuss... diplomatic things while you relax and take in the sights after this long flight.

Faa'a International Airport, also known as Tahiti International Airport (NTAA), is the international airport of French Polynesia, located in the commune of Faaa, on the island of Tahiti. It is situated 5 km southwest of Papeete, the capital city of the overseas collectivity. It opened in 1960. Regional air carrier Air Tahiti and international air carrier Air Tahiti Nui are both based at the airport.

The most remote airport in the world (defined as distance to another airport),[5] it is 2,336 miles (3,759 km) from Santiago, Chile (SCL) which has scheduled flights to it on the Chilean carrier LATAM Chile. The runway starts just inland from the island's southeast coast at Mataveri, and nearly reaches the west coast, almost separating the mountain of Rano Kau from the rest of the island. The airport is the main point of entry for visitors to Easter Island. It has a transit lounge that was formerly used by passengers continuing to or returning from Papeete, Tahiti, which was serviced by LATAM until June 2020. Due to the lack of diversion airports between Tahiti and South America except for Mataveri, Chilean aviation authorities prohibit more than one aircraft from being in the vicinity of Mataveri. Once an aircraft flying from South America passes the halfway point between South America and Easter Island, no other aircraft can be closer than its own halfway point until the first aircraft successfully lands on the island. This is because if an aircraft should have an accident that obstructs or closes the runway, the other aircraft would not be able to land, and should have been turned back to its airport of departure.
