Practical information:

Access to Nouméa-Magenta Airport remains secure. The drop-off area is accessible, and the P4 parking lot at Nouméa-Magenta Airport is open within the limits of available spaces. We therefore invite you to make arrangements and anticipate your travel to comply with these instructions.

Access to Magenta Airport from June 17

To facilitate passenger travel, access to Nouméa-Magenta Airport can now be made directly via the roundabout at the airfield for all persons listed as passengers on flights scheduled from [date]. Additionally, the CCI-NC is suspending its shuttle service from the RAI bus station.

However, access to Magenta Airfield remains highly secured: only individuals with a valid ticket will be able to enter the site, and access to parking lot P1 and the Drop-Off area (in front of the airport) is prohibited.

Vehicle owners are therefore invited to park in parking lots P2 and P4 (Access map here). We also remind you that the airfield ticket office is closed.

We thank our customers for their understanding.

See you soon on our flights.

Access to Magenta Airport from June 7

After two days of resuming operations and considering the security measures surrounding the airport, the CCI has decided to modify the organization of access to the terminal: passengers scheduled on Air Calédonie flights from June 7 onwards will only be able to reach Magenta Airport via the shuttles set up by the CCI-NC, which will transport them to the airport.

The shuttles will depart from the parking lot of the RAI bus station (formerly CHT Gaston-Bourret) every 30 minutes starting at 06:15.

Please note: the check-in time at the airport remains unchanged.

Passengers are advised to make arrangements to respect the check-in time in order to proceed with registration and undergo the mandatory security checks (70 minutes before their flight departure).

Arriving passengers at Magenta can either take the shuttle to the bus station or exit as pedestrians.

The airline thanks its customers for their understanding.

Practical Information: Access to Magenta Airport from June 5th

The company confirms the scheduled commercial rotations starting tomorrow and invites concerned passengers to plan their trips ahead of time to ensure optimal safety conditions.

Given the situation, access to Magenta Airport is highly secured by the authorities: only listed passengers with a valid ticket will be allowed on the premises.

Passenger checks will be conducted at the airport roundabout, and parking in lot P1 will be prohibited.

Vehicle owners are therefore advised to park in lots P2 and P4. We also remind passengers that excess baggage is not allowed and that the airport ticket office is closed. More information here.

We thank our customers for their understanding.

See you soon on our flights.
