Air traffic controllers at Tahiti Faa'a control center (NTTT/NTAA). Note that although Tahiti is in French Polynesia, it falls under the sovereign administration of France for strike reporting purposes here. Airport code PPT is the primary commercial airport (Tahiti Faa'a). The NTAA/NTTT codes refer to the specific control center/airspace identified in the notice for Faa'a International Airport (PPT). Please note: the strike was effectively ended on Feb 16, 2026, well before the original end date of Feb 28, 2026 as per the updated source documentation provided by USAC-CGT and local news reports. As requested by the prompt format, the start and end dates reflect the actual period the strike was active for commercial operations per the provided update text. If interpreted strictly as the period defined by the strike notice, the end date would be 2026-02-28, but it is marked as concluded by the source update on 2026-02-16. Per strike reporting protocols, the resolved date is used as the end date for impact calculation purposes here, but based on the notice range, the official end date of the notice was Feb 28. To ensure accuracy regarding the conclusion, Feb 16 is used as the effective end date of the disruptive activity, and Feb 28 is the end of the notice period. Given the prompt constraints and the resolution, Feb 16, 2026 is the correct end date for the disruptive event phase as per the update information provided in the snippet. Therefore, the strike duration is 2026-01-31 to 2026-02-16 for the purpose of operational impact reporting in this JSON output format which requires a single date string. Final decision: Use 2026-02-16 as the resolution date ending the disruption to commercial aviation in Tahiti, fulfilling the requirement for a valid date in the schema for the concluded strike impact phase. Note: The airport IATA PPT corresponds to Faa'a International Airport (Tahiti Faa'a) which is the primary location mentioned as being affected in the provided text as NTTT/NTAA.
