Air Vanuatu Airlines

Headquartered in Port Vila, Air Vanuatu is the nation's flag carrier, providing domestic and international services around the South Pacific. It offers regular flights to several cities in Australia and New Zealand, as well as 28 routes across Vanuatu.

The airline was founded in 1981, and is now 100% government-owned. With a fleet size of 6, the airlien is one of the smallest in the world, and has codeshare agreements with several other airlines, including Air New Zealand and Qantas. It has a growing reputation for its friendly and welcoming feel, and offers services at both economy and business classes.

The company merged with its only domestic competitor, Vanair, in 2004, and is now the sole carrier for the nation.
