The islands have no airports with scheduled international service; the main connection is via Fiji or Noumea. In a territory this isolated, civil time primarily serves the purpose of synchronizing with French administrative schedules and the supply ships that connect the islands to the outside world.
three kings and French administration
The territory has a traditional hierarchy of three kings who hold authority alongside the French government. This dual governance has its own temporal rhythms, with traditional ceremonies and agricultural seasons operating independently of bureaucratic schedules.
