2.2.3 Solomon Islands Other National Airports
There are 39 smaller unpaved airports/airfields in the Solomon Islands, some of which are not fully operational. Many of these runways are still operational after heavy rain as the corral rock provides a solid landing base.
The airports of Gizo, Munda, Seghe, Kirakira, Santa Cruz and Auki are able to accomodate Dash 8’s. The remaining airports if operational are able to receive Twin Otters. There is no night flying equipment and no refueling services at the regional airports.
