Transfer of Operations to La Tontouta – Flights Now Available for Booking

Posted on | by editeur aircal

The Government of New Caledonia has announced the effective date for the transfer of all Air Calédonie operations to La Tontouta International Airport, starting March 2, 2026. This transfer represents a strategic milestone for the development of domestic and international air transport, offering passengers an enhanced travel experience, improved connectivity with international flights, and modernized infrastructure to serve New Caledonia.

For several months, Air Calédonie has been actively preparing for this transition to ensure its success. The company is pleased to announce that the entire flight schedule is now open for booking until October 24, 2026.

Air Calédonie clarifies that until the effective transfer date of March 2, 2026, domestic flights will continue to operate from Magenta Airport.

For passengers who have already booked travel for a departure/arrival that will ultimately take place at La Tontouta:

  • Automatic Rebooking: Tickets have been automatically modified at no additional cost to the nearest available flight to the original booking. An email and SMS notification has been sent to each affected customer. If the new flight time is inconvenient, special commercial arrangements are available to facilitate modifications or refunds under certain conditions.

  • Note on Changes: If a customer subsequently wishes to modify their ticket, a fare adjustment may apply due to differences in taxes between the two airports.

  • Unpaid Reservations: For customers who have made a reservation but not yet completed payment (unissued ticket), a new flight and fare proposal will be sent promptly, along with an updated purchase deadline.

The company encourages all customers to verify and update their contact information to ensure they receive these communications without delay.

Air Calédonie’s commercial teams remain fully committed to addressing any questions and providing the best possible support to customers, whom they thank for their understanding.

Finally, the company reminds customers that the Government of New Caledonia has created an information page with all the details related to the transfer. Customers are invited to consult it for any additional questions: 👉 Government Information Page: Magenta to La Tontouta Transfer

Posted on | by editeur aircal

After the success of the 2024 edition, the 4th Trail Maré Air Calédonie returns on Saturday, December 6, 2025, for a weekend filled with sport, festivities, and exploration in the heart of the Loyalty Islands.
Organized by our partner Challenge Organisation in collaboration with the Plages et Falaises de Laxec Development Committee and the tribe of Eni, this event has become a must for nature lovers and trail-running enthusiasts alike.

Three Courses for Every Level

The Trail Maré Air Calédonie 2025 offers three routes designed for all levels and ambitions:
– Grand Raid – 20 km, 160 m elevation gain (start at 6:30 a.m.)
– Mini Raid – 8 km, 40 m elevation gain (start at 7:00 a.m.)
– Family Run – 3 km (start at 8:00 a.m.)

Each registration includes a shuttle to the starting line and a local buffet dinner on Saturday evening.
Participants can also choose from accommodation packages with local hosts or camping options, including breakfast and round-trip transfers from the wharf or the airport — a wonderful way to experience the warmth and hospitality of Maré.

A Weekend of Sports and Celebration

Beyond the race itself, Maré will come alive with the Fête du Littoral, held at the tribe of Eni. Markets, performances, local cuisine, and cultural activities will extend the experience in a friendly and festive atmosphere.

To make your trip even easier, Air Calédonie offers a 15% discount on round-trip flights between Nouméa and Maré (from December 3 to 10, 2025). To benefit from this offer, bookings must be made via convention@air-caledonie.nc, with proof of race registration attached.
