From there, a 32-hour boat ride will take one to Pitcairn. History 
The  runway was constructed in 1967 by the 115th running of the Society of the Pacific Experimentation Centre Pacific (CEP). The first aircraft, a Piper Aztec, landed in 1968. The same year, a DC-6 performed weekly service between Totegegie, Mururoa and Papeete. In 1978, the first commercial air link was established between Totegegie and Papeete. The French army buildings were decommissioned in 1998. At the end of operations 50 tons of scrap metal had been collected. In 2008, the terminal was expanded and modernized.
