More repairs carried out at Port Vila runway

Further short-term repairs of Bauerfield International Airport's runway have been completed in the past week by contractor Fulton Hogan.

The works involved milling out aged asphalt and installing cold mix asphalt patches to areas which have been of concern and expected to deteriorate further over the next months.

The repairs are part of AVL's ongoing maintenance program to ensure the ongoing safety of operations at Vanuatu's gateway airport.

The project currently being finalized to address full rehabilitation of all of the airport's pavements is due to commence next year and public tender for these works soon to be released.
