Reports from French Polynesia say the government has met the head of a new French low-cost airline to discuss a possible new service between Paris and Tahiti.
According to the public broadcaster, the president Edouard Fritch and the tourism minister Nicole Bouteau received the head of French Blue, Marc Rochet.
There has been no comment about the talks but the broadcaster said the airline was considering flying from Europe to Papeete via San Francisco.
Currently Tahiti's airlinks to Europe are provided by Air Tahiti Nui and Air France which fly via Los Angeles.
French Blue flies to the Caribbean and to Reunion in the Indian Ocean.
