Dreams COME TRUE Ia OrWELaCOME na Vivid turquoise lagoons, soaring lava-rock peaks, lush tropical plants, beautiful, hospitable people. These natural wonders fill the senses of all those that set foot on our islands. But we believe our guests should feel the spirit of Tahiti from the moment they step onboard. And so, to coincide with our 20th year of operations, we proudly unveil The Tahitian Dreamliner. This technological marvel detailed with the story, heart and soul of Tahiti will captivate our guests and deliver what we believe to be the ultimate travel experience. 01 02 OUR INSPIRATION: Mana Every culture centers around an unmistakable spirit. For the people of Tahiti, this is Mana. It is a force that flows through all living things, places and objects. It inspires us to be protective of our islands, but also to share them generously with the world. It connects us toward common goals, but also drives us to make our individual mark. It moves us to boldly chase a better future, while respecting the teachings of our past. It is the luster of the black pearl, the unique recipe of a family’s monoi, the iridescent shimmer of the rainbow fish, the melody from a ukulele rolling gently through palm leaves, the ocean surges that renew the lagoons, the ray, the peak, the reef, a Mama’s smile. So, when designing The Tahitian Dreamliner, we were not only inspired by Mana, we wished to express it so clearly, our guests would feel it, understand it and take it with them back to their home. 03 04 05 06 07 08 20 YEARS OF AMBASSADORSHIP As you will see in the design details of The Tahitian Dreamliner, we at Air Tahiti Nui believe each of us serves as an ambassador of our homeland. The Nui in our name literally means “Big” as in the big carrier to The Islands of Tahiti, but Tahitians know Nui can also mean “Grand” and “Great” which captures aspects of our adventurous spirit, our desire to connect with the healing power of nature, and the love and pride we have for our culture. As we chart our course of the next 20 years, the idea of Nui will be a shining star that guides us forward. We will challenge ourselves to examine every part of the travel experience we provide our guests to find ways to make it more relaxing, more immersive, and more “Nui.” Nui And the clearest example of this yet: the 3 year journey, from idea to purchase to design of 4 Boeing 787-9s…our new fleet of what we call The Tahitian Dreamliner. 09 10 INTRODUCING THE Tahitian D reamliner Our Dreamliner fleet begins a new chapter in our proud history of connecting Tahiti to the world. We’ve selected what we believe to be the best aircraft flying the skies, the Boeing 787-9, and we’ve made it uniquely Tahitian. Come fly with us and be among the first to be carried to your dream destination on the wings of our Dreamliner. 11 12 Our new livery THE TIARE From the very beginning, a white tiare, a symbol of beauty in Tahiti, has adorned our tails. And while our fleet and livery design has changed, we have kept the original tiare unchanged, carrying us into the future while being a proud reminder of our past. Each guest receives a real tiare flower upon arrival, a living, beautifully fragrant extension of our mark. THE COLOR STORY Three shades of blue draw inspiration from the ocean, the lagoon and the skies over Tahiti. THE TATTOOS A collection of tattoos graces the rear portion of our fleet and tells a visual story about Tahiti and its people. The tiare is encircled by ripples on the The Albatross represents freedom and water with flocks of birds that represent the ability to rise above to gain an THE FLAG AND REGISTRATION NUMBERS friendship and helping others. elevated perspective.

All international airplanes are assigned a 2 letter registration code designating its country of origin, and 3 more letters unique to each plane. We’ve used those 3 letters for meaningful Tahitian words: MUA, A manta ray represents wisdom, (forward), NUI (big), VAA (canoe), TOA (warrior).

While most offensive odors, our guests will experience fewer throat, you to choose the brightness you prefer. airplanes are pressurized to a typical cabin altitude of eye and nose irritations. 6,500 to 7,000 feet, a stronger composite fuselage means the 787 can be pressurized to 6,000 feet, which studies have demonstrated is significantly more comfortable. The cabin also delivers a higher humidity level than in other airplanes, which has been shown to reduce symptoms of dryness and increase comfort for passengers. It is this precise tropical humidity that gives to the Polynesian sky its incredible deep blue and spectacular sunsets. To emulate this atmosphere, the Tahitian Dreamliner is equipped with the last generation of LED lighting technology that can create an infinite combination of mood scenes. Our guests will gently wake up with the mauve and pink of Gauguin’s color palette, or dine in the cozy atmosphere of a never ending sunset, a scene that we have named Tahitian Bliss. 15 16 More features, less impact ESCAPE THE NOISE SAIL SMOOTHLY Breaking waves, gently swaying palm leaves, a As if like a traditional outrigger canoe gliding across a melodic “Maūru’uru” (thank you).

Having an ancestral history of thriving from the gifts the land and sea provides makes us protective of the environment. So when it came to select our next fleet, low impact specifications were critical factors in the decision. With fuel efficiency that’s 20 to 25 percent less than the airplanes it replaces and a full 10 percent better than today’s competition, The Tahitian Dreamliner delivers 20-25 percent fewer CO2 emissions as well. The elegant design of the iconic Dreamliner wing features smoother surfaces, a simpler structure and fewer parts, all of which improve airflow for better fuel efficiency. Overall, the Dreamliner is manufactured using fewer harmful chemicals and with less scrap and waste than other traditional airplanes. And the materials are recyclable when the airplane is eventually retired. 17 18
