International air services were re-connected to Santo today. The resumption of services is a badly needed shot in the arm for the tourism industry who are looking forward to getting back to business.
“We know we live in a magnificent place, and we are excited to again be able to share it with visitors. Without this commitment to maintaining air services economic growth for the Northern Islands would be difficult. We are looking forward to working together to make this service sustainable,” said Rayman Leung, Chairman of the Espiritu Santo Tourism Association.
“We look forward to working with Solomons Airlines, the industry, and government on a marketing plan. We will all need to work together to make the route a success. It is important for all of Santo, not just tourism,” she said. “The resumption of domestic flights also remains critical in the success of this service.”
Bookings can be made at www.flysolomons.com. The service also provides excellent opportunities for the export of cargo and simple travel for residents.
