Answer for the mystery airline in Odds and Ends. Air Tahiti Nui is a French airline headquartered in Papeete, Tahiti. The airline was established in 1996 and started flight operations in 1998. |
 YouTube videographer, eye trapper, has posted a video of Air Tahiti Nui landing in YVR. |

Ken Pickford explains why Air Tahiti Nui is now stopping in YVR: With Air Tahiti Nui (code TN) still operating Papeete-Paris (currently daily in each direction) with a fuel stop at YVR instead of the usual LAX stop due to Covid-19, most days they have 2 flights stopping at YVR for fuel and crew change. On July 17, 75% of their entire fleet (3 of 4 Boeing 787-9's) landed at YVR within about 90 minutes, the two regular eastbound and westbound flights which landed 3 minutes apart, plus an additional eastbound flight an hour or so earlier. YVR is just a technical stop and passengers remain on board during the stop (when they stop at LAX they can carry passengers to/from LAX). Elapsed time PPT-CDG roughly 20 to 21 hours, with each leg usually slightly over 9 hours plus the approximately 90 minute YVR stop. Air France also operates CDG-PPT 3 days a week, also stopping at YVR instead of LAX (like TN, tech stop only, no passengers to/from YVR). A third French airline, low-cost carrier French Bee (code BF) has a weekly Paris (Orly airport)-PPT flight that stops at YVR (normally SFO), meaning a total of up to 22 flights a week in both directions between Paris and Papeete making a technical stop at YVR. |
