Accidents and incidents
- On 19 February 1958 at 08:50, a Consolidated Catalina IIA (F-OAVV) of Réseau Aérien Interinsulaire on approach from Papeete had its right wing tip float contact the water during a shallow turn on final approach and sank in 36 meters of water in 10 minutes. 15 of the 26 occupants were killed; the crash found to be the result of poor weather conditions. This crash was French Polynesia's deadliest until Pan Am Flight 816 in 1973.[4]
