Solomon Airlines to Launch Honiara - Nadi Flights

Solomon Airlines has unveiled plans to launch direct Honiara - Nadi flights on 4 November 2015, subject to government approval.

The national carrier will operate the route with Airbus A320 aircraft.

Flight IE 708 operating Wednesdays, will depart Honiara at 15:15 arriving Nadi at 20:15.

Flight IE 709 operating Thursdays, will depart Nadi at 11:00 arriving Honiara at 12:00.

The new service builds on the airline’s existing Honiara - Nadi service which operates via Port Vila, Vanuatu, on Saturdays and returns to Honiara, again via Port Vila, on Sundays.

Solomon Airlines General Manager Operations & Commercial, Gus Kraus said the commencement of the new Honiara-Nadi service held great significance for the prospect of increased trade and business links between the two countries as well as a closer relationship with a key Melanesian neighbour.

“This new direct service opens up even more opportunity for international travellers to make seamless connections via Fiji into the Solomon Islands, and particularly from North America and northern Asia,” he said. “This new service represents yet another major benchmark for Solomon Airlines in a very proud 53-year history.”
