Airlines Flying to Solomon Islands

 

Flying into Honiara

 

What did TikiTouring think of flights with Solomon Airlines?

The main air carrier into the Solomon Islands is, as you would expect, Solomon Airlines.

They offer four flights a week from Brisbane to the Solomons capital Honiara, and four return flights back to Brisbane.

Flying time between the Queensland state capital and Honiara is just under three hours.

Solomon Airlines is about to start a direct Sydney-Honiara service from June 2, 2015.

Scheduled to operate ex-Honiara on Mondays and ex-Sydney on Tuesdays, the airline will utilise its Airbus A320 on the new route which has been specifically timed to offer seamless flight linkage between several Australian cities and also international connections.

These include Canberra, Melbourne and Perth and internationally, for passengers connecting to and from New Zealand, the US, Asia, the Middle East, the UK and Europe.

The new Sydney flight schedule will operate as follows:

Monday -

Regional Flights

The quickest and easiest way to get around the regions of Solomon Islands is by air and Solomon Airlines has a comprehensive service to the main towns and population hubs.

The planes are older and sometimes you will be landing on grass strips but that all adds to the adventure of visiting the Solomon Islands.
