AGP Executive Report
Last update: 31 minutes agoAir Cargo Disruption: Motu Link has suspended all flights after its sole ATR72-500 suffered nose landing gear damage during a towing manoeuvre, with repairs estimated at about USD950,000 and a possible short-term lease option; the grounding is already hitting revenue and comes just after the airline launched scheduled cargo services. Aviation Finance: The Port Autonome de Papeete approved XPF225 million to support tax-relief financing for three ATR72-600s acquired by Air Moana, framing it as a legal tax investment rather than equity—after Air Tahiti challenged earlier government support. High Seas Mining Clash: French Polynesia says it will challenge an American Deep Sea Minerals proposal to explore seabed mining just beyond its maritime borders, arguing it was not consulted and that it threatens ecosystems protected by the territory. Connectivity Risk for Remote Islands: Starlink users in French Polynesia face potential service suspension from August 10 if they use roaming access for more than 30 consecutive days, while the territory works on a bill to authorize legal deployment in “white zones.” Regional Diplomacy: Three overseas MPs, including French Polynesia’s Nicole Sanquer, are urging France to toughen its response to Azerbaijan-linked statements, calling for stronger diplomacy and possible sanctions.
