Air Vanuatu (IATA: NF, ICAO: AVN) is the national airline of Vanuatu, established in September 1981. As the country's flag carrier, it serves as a vital link between Vanuatu and the broader South Pacific region, operating from its main hub at Bauerfield International Airport in Port Vila.
The airline operates a mixed fleet of narrow-body and regional aircraft, including the Airbus A220, Boeing 737, ATR 72, and De Havilland Canada Dash 8. This combination enables Air Vanuatu to serve both longer regional routes to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and Noumea, as well as shorter domestic connections across Vanuatu's island network.
Air Vanuatu is a member of the Qantas Frequent Flyer program, allowing passengers to earn and redeem points on eligible flights. Following operational challenges in 2024, the airline resumed limited domestic services in August 2024, reaffirming its commitment to connecting Vanuatu's communities.
