Solomona, currently the general manager of the Samoa Airport Authority, will take up the new post in January 2024.

His appointment followed an extensive international recruitment process.

He has over thirty years of civil aviation operations and senior management experience in Samoa and Fiji, including as a pilot, air traffic controller, and aerodromes specialist.

The equipment which includes computers, laptops and printers will be used by the Ministry to support teachers and administrators most in need, including schools in Provinces affected by Tropical Cyclone Harold.

PASO General Manager, Andrew Valentine said the handover ceremony paved the way for more discussions on partnership opportunities.

 “The PASO Council made a deliberate decision at their July Council Meeting to donate retired IT equipment to Vanuatu schools as a meaningful way to support education in Vanuatu.”
