Solomon Airlines to introduce a new international schedule on August 1

Solomon Airlines has welcomed the news that mandatory quarantine requirements for inbound visitors will be reduced shortly and has published a new international schedule effective from August 1, 2022, re-introducing regular flights between Solomon Islands and Australia, Fiji, Vanuatu, and Kiribati, and connections to partner airline services from New Zealand, Asia, and the USA.

Until the complete lifting of mandatory quarantine, international visitors to Solomon Islands must continue to follow the updated health protocols while accommodated at one of the approved ‘Tourism Bubble’ operators.

Solomon Airlines’ new international schedule effective from August 1, 2022 will include flight times that enable same-day connections at least twice weekly to and from all major international markets.

The airline has also adjusted timings on selected domestic flights to Munda, Gizo, Seghe, and Suavanao to allow for direct connections from international services on the Brisbane-Honiara route.

Highlights of the new schedule from August 1, 2022 include:

Brisbane-Honiara flights twice weekly and a third Brisbane-Honiara flight every fortnight
Honiara-Brisbane flights twice weekly
Honiara-Port Vila-Nadi-Honiara flights every Tuesday
Brisbane-Tarawa flights via Honiara to operate fortnightly
Tarawa-Brisbane direct flights to operate fortnightly
Direct connection on Wednesdays from Munda onto the Honiara-Brisbane service
Lomlom gains a second weekly service to and from Honiara via Santa Cruz on Tuesdays and Thursdays
Honiara-Auki-Honiara services will operate twice daily on Monday in the morning and afternoon

Solomon Airlines said COVID-19 safety protocols including a requirement for passengers to wear face masks onboard all Solomon Airlines flights will continue to support the protection of passengers and staff.

Solomon Airlines suspends operations

Solomon Airlines (Solomons) (Honiara) suspended all domestic and international airline operations on June 7, 2016 over a dispute for promised funding from the Solomon Islands government. CEO Ron Sum Sum said millions of dollars in unpaid government payments had seriously compromised safe airline operations.

The government hopes to reach an agreement with the ailing airline and resume critical operations for the island nation.

Solomons (Solomon Airlines) (flysolomons.com) (Honiara) has added its first Airbus A320 to its AOC. Previously other airlines operated its international routes.

The airline announced on September 8, 2011 that CASA Australia (Civil Aviation Safety Authority) has finally approved their FAOC (Foreign Air Operators Certificate) application which now gives Solomons their AOC to commence scheduled flights to and from Brisbane, Australia.

Our Airline operated for Solomons until September 11, 2011.

The pictured former Air Canada Airbus A320-211 now registered as H4-BUS (msn 302) commenced its first scheduled revenue flight on Monday September 12, 2011 from Brisbane to Honiara and return. H4-BUS is pictured at BNE in the revised color scheme.

The flag carrier of the Solomon Airlines also intends to operate the A320 from Honiara to Port Moresby and return.
