Best Time to Visit
The IPC Mataveri International was originally designed for use as an abort site for the US Space Shuttle. NASA finished lengthening the runway in 1987 enabling wide-bodied jets to land, boosting the island’s tourism in the process. The runway of the airport starts from the island’s southeast coast and reaches the west coast. Since the runway reaches coast to coast on the island, airline approach and departures are made over the water. Even though it is a remote airport, it still welcomes more than 100,000 tourists in a year, as the airport is the main entry point for travelers wishing to explore the Easter Islands. The airport is also used for travelers continuing their trip to or returning from Papeete, Tahiti.
