About Sola Airport
Vanua Lava Airport, commonly known as Sola Airport, is a small domestic airfield serving the island of Vanua Lava in Torba Province, the northernmost province of Vanuatu. Located near the village of Sola, it provides an important connection between the remote Banks Islands and the rest of the country.
The airport has a single grass runway and one basic terminal building. Air Vanuatu operates domestic flights linking Sola with Mota Lava, Espiritu Santo's Santo Pekoa Airport and the Torres Islands, making the airport an essential transport link for local communities and visitors traveling through the northern islands.
The airport sits close to Sola village, roughly 3 km away, with short transfer times to local accommodation. Ground transport is limited, so most travelers arrange pickup through guesthouses or pre-booked transfers.
