A statement from the airline said the directive is in place while a risk assessment, contact tracing and further testing is carried out.
“Air Vanuatu will continue to monitor the situation and work closely with NDMO/CAAV until such time when we are granted approval to resume passenger services in and out of Port Vila.”
“In the interim Air Vanuatu is working on a revised operating schedule and plans to operate a freighter service to Santo and Tanna which will then be positioned to operate passenger services in the Northern and Southern provinces,” the airline said.
