Second Islander for Air Tetiaroa

摘要

Air Tetiaroa has taken delivery of its second Britten-Norman Islander. The two eight-seat aircraft are used to serve The Brando Resort on Tetiaroa, a private island 30 miles from Tahiti. The carrier describes the flight as a "short but spectacular 20 minutes'.' The resort takes its name from actor Marlon Brando, who first visited Tetiaroa in the 1960s during the filming of the movie Mutiny on the Bounty. Brando became besotted with the island and its people, including Tarita Teriipaia, who played his love interest in the movie and soon became his wife. He loved the island so much that he bought it and made it his family home.
