Air Tahiti targets high-end market with new all-business class ATR 72-600
Air Tahiti is set to redefine the travel experience in The Islands of Tahiti with its ATR 72-600 "HighLine," an aircraft fully configured as an all-business class cabin.
ATR unveiled this unique offering, aimed at a discerning clientele, at the International Paris Air Show.
Designed to deliver an unparalleled flight experience, the ATR 72-600 "HighLine" directly addresses the growing demand from international travelers for elevated standards.
This travel experience begins with personalized service at check-in. Once on board, the Polynesian-inspired cabin features 26 individual business class seats arranged in a 1-1 configuration. This layout provides every passenger with direct aisle and window access, ensuring ample space, privacy, and breathtaking views of our lagoons. Couples have the option to privatize an entire row.
Beyond comfort, the ATR 72-600 HighLine embodies a commitment to sustainability. ATR is renowned for the reliability and environmental performance of its aircraft. The ATR, for example, emits 45 % less CO2 compared to a similarly sized jet, a significant advantage for a destination as pristine as French Polynesia
Air Tahiti expects to receive this ATR 72-600 “HighLine” in the second half of 2026.
This ATR is part of a batch of four ATR 72-600 aircraft, ordered on July 24, 2024, as part of Air Tahiti's fleet renewal policy. The first aircraft will join the fleet in June 2025, followed by this “all-business class” ATR, with two additional deliveries scheduled for 2027 and 2028.
Once in service, it will exclusively operate flights to the islands of Bora Bora and Raiatea, - extending this service to the neighboring island of Tahaa - providing discerning travelers with a luxurious gateway to these Pacific pearls.
