Air Tahiti Nui

Air Tahiti Nui has announced that one of its former senior executives, Philippe Marie, will return to the carrier to take over as its new CEO.

Air Tahiti Nui is open to new partnerships to increase its connectivity, the carrier’s general manager for France and Europe Jean-Marc Hastings said.

The Papeete-based airline signed an order for four ATR 72-600s along with an eight-year maintenance agreement.

Air Tahiti exemplifies the market ATR has been pursuing against otherwise slow demand in the 50-70-seat class of turboprops.

Air Tahiti Nui, which operates a small fleet of four Boeing 787-9 widebodies, is carefully studying the possibilities of new long-range narrowbodies.

The carrier is also establishing a partnership with Alaska Airlines.
