Details: Obtaining jet fuel at Robinson Crusoe Island/SCIR and any of the outlying islands
of French Polynesia requires a lot of advance planning for special delivery of fuel in barrels.
Also, the French Polynesian CAA require affluent French speaker onboard for operations
at Totegegie Airport/NTGJ but may be willing to waive that requirement with special procedures.
We ended up landing at Tureia, French Polynesia/NTGY (for fuel from Air Tahiti barrels)
which is uncontrolled and thus a French speaker is not required.
However, the French Polynesian immigration officials will not allow
an overnight stop at any of the outlying islands (just a quick fuel stops)
without clearing customs at Tahiti/NTAA first.
So, a flight from Easter Island must go all the way to Tahiti/NTAA without any overnight stops.
