Air Tahiti is increasing flight frequencies between Tahiti and Rarotonga, Cook Islands, from June 29. Two additional weekly rotations will be offered until the end of the year, with four flights per week.
This increased service is designed to offer travellers greater flexibility and choice between these two Polynesian archipelagos.
