The '''Tanoanische Luftwaffe''' was the air force of the [[Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]]. It conducted reconnaissance and air-defence missions. It also performed transport missions and provided aerial support.<ref name="tanoa-military"/> After the [[Oberkommando der Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]] was established in 1950, the Luftwaffe retained its own command hierarchy under its strategic direction.<ref name="okte-history"/> The [[Flugabwehrgruppen]] and [[Fallschirmjägers]] were listed under the branch.<ref name="departments"/> The [[Luft-Gendarmerie]] served as its military police, enforcing regulations at airfields and hangars. Its jurisdiction also covered radar stations and aviation depots.<ref name="feldgendarmerie"/> The branch ceased to function when the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen collapsed on 30 November 2024.<ref name="tanoa-history"/>

== Air Fiji Flight 27 ==
On 13 March 2014, Flugabwehrgruppen units under Luftwaffe authority fired a surface-to-air missile at [[Air Fiji Flight 27]] after the aircraft entered an undeclared restricted air-defence zone over [[Tanoa]]. The aircraft crashed near [[Vagalala]], killing all 214 people on board. The Tanoa Einsatzgruppen blamed local resistance groups and claimed that captured Luftwaffe equipment had been used. Internal material released after the collapse identified the shootdown as an operation by regime-controlled air-defence units.<ref name="flight27"/>
