About Lamen Bay Airport
Lamen Bay Airport is a small domestic airport serving Lamen Bay and Epi Island, one of the outer islands of Vanuatu in the South Pacific. It provides a vital air link for residents and visitors travelling between Epi and the capital, Port Vila.
The airfield sits close to Lamen Bay village at a low elevation near the coast and features a single unpaved grass runway. Operations are modest, with a simple open-air passenger area rather than a conventional terminal building, and most flights are operated by domestic airlines.
Located about one kilometre from Lamen Bay village, the airport is reached by a short road or walking connection, with onward travel around Epi typically arranged by local vehicle or boat. Visitors use it mainly to reach guesthouses, villages and coastal areas on the island.
Because the airport is small, passenger facilities are limited, so travellers are advised to bring essentials and confirm flight details and local transport in advance. The route between Lamen Bay and Port Vila by air typically takes under an hour.
