Air Tahiti to launch all‑business class ATR 72‑600 with 26 seats in French Polynesia

Air Tahiti announced that its new ATR 72‑600 will be fitted with 26 ETEREA business‑class seats from Italian manufacturer Geven, replacing the aircraft’s typical 70‑seat layout.

The seats are 55 cm wide, spaced 100 cm apart, and recline 18 cm, and the airline will offer sweet and savory snacks, wine or champagne, and a baggage allowance of two 32‑kg checked bags plus a 12‑kg hand‑luggage piece. The aircraft will operate morning, midday and afternoon itineraries linking Papeete, Bora Bora, Raiatea and Tahaa, with a December 2025 launch date.
