Board termination

Government takes control of Air Vanuatu after sacking its board

“The situation of the airline is very, very critical, that’s why we took this decision,” Finance Minister Johnny Koanapo, said in an interview with Buzz FM Radio.

He said the country’s Council of Ministers on March 11 had terminated the tenure of the board with immediate effect following a decision last month by the state-owned airline’s shareholder representatives, which included the Prime Minister's office, and the Ministries of Finance, Trade, Public Utilities, and Tourism.
