Mataveri’s short runway puts arriving aircraft low over the coast—a memorable welcome or farewell, especially if you’re interested in aviation.
The arriving airplanes normally come in from the north-west. If you stand at the Mataveri road leading to volcano Rano Kau you will have the airplane passing by just above your head, which is an impressive feeling. If you see a few vehicles by the road with people waiting you're probably in the right place.
There is approximately one airplane per day arriving to Rapa Nui. To find out what time the plane of the day will arrive you may ask at the local airport or check flight times at www.latamairlines.com.
Tip
Stay outside fenced airport areas; don’t block roads or driveways. Flight times vary—LATAM schedules connect mainly via Santiago; wind can delay arrivals.
