About Uléi Airport
Uléi Airport (ULB) is a small domestic airfield serving the village of Ulei on Ambrym Island, part of Vanuatu's Malampa Province. It provides one of Ambrym's limited air links to the rest of the country, with Air Vanuatu domestic services connecting the island to Port Vila, Craig Cove and other destinations.
The airfield has a single volcanic-ash runway, designated 09/27 and about 850 metres long, suited to small aircraft such as the Twin Otter used on inter-island routes. Passenger facilities are basic, with a simple shelter area rather than a large terminal complex.
The airport lies close to Ulei village, and ground transport on Ambrym is usually arranged in advance. Local trucks and pre-arranged vehicles link the airstrip with nearby villages, including Endu on the east coast, with travel times depending on road conditions.
As a remote domestic airstrip, it offers a simple and practical arrival point for visitors heading to Ambrym's villages, guesthouses and volcanic landscapes. Travellers should confirm flight schedules with Air Vanuatu and plan onward transport before departure.
