About Siwo Airport
Siwo Airport is a small domestic airfield serving Emae Island in the Shefa Province of Vanuatu. Also known as Aromai Airport, it provides an essential air link between the island communities and the national capital, Port Vila.
The airport has a single grass runway measuring about 703 metres and a simple passenger area used for check-in, boarding and arrivals. Scheduled flights are operated by Air Vanuatu, connecting Emae with Port Vila and Valesdir in the Shepherd Islands.
Located in the Sangafa area of Emae Island, the airport is a short drive from the island's main settlement. Because Emae is an island, onward travel to Port Vila and other islands is by small aircraft or boat, while local road links connect the airfield with nearby villages.
Passenger facilities are limited, reflecting the airport's role as a remote island strip, so travelers should plan for a simple arrival and departure experience and allow extra time for baggage and local transfer arrangements.
