About Aneityum Airport
Aneityum Airport (AUY) is a small domestic airfield serving Aneityum (Anatom), the southernmost inhabited island in Vanuatu. It sits on Inyeug Island, also called Mystery Island, just off the southern coast of Aneityum in Taféa Province, and is reached by a short boat crossing from the main island.
The airport is a single-runway facility with a grass strip around 610 meters long. Its role is primarily domestic: scheduled and charter flights link the island with Port Vila and other destinations in Vanuatu, while during the cruise season Inyeug Island becomes a popular South Pacific stopover.
Port Vila, the national capital, lies roughly 320 km to the northwest and is the main connection point for travelers reaching Aneityum by air. From the airfield, visitors continue by boat to Aneityum's coastal villages such as Anelghowhat or walk to the cruise landing areas on Mystery Island.
Because it is a remote island airfield, terminal facilities are modest and services are limited, so travelers should plan accordingly. For independent exploration, the island is best reached through domestic air connections and local boat transfers.
