Hao Airport (IATA: HOI, ICAO: NTTO) is an airport on Hao Island in French Polynesia. The airport is 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from the village of Otepa. Its unusually long runway (for the atoll's present population) was constructed to permit the heavy aircraft transporting materials for nuclear tests to land. Their cargoes would be transported onward to nuclear test sites by ships.

Hao airport was a designated emergency landing site for the NASA Space Shuttle.[3]
