Suavanao Airport is an airport on Santa Isabel Island in the Solomon Islands (IATA: VAO, ICAO: AGGV).
The main destination off this airfield is Honiara, Solomon Island's capital. It has very little traffic, providing one flight a week most of the times, depending on the season. Mainly used by Isabel’s inhabitants, it also provides a fast connection to a Papatura Island resort.
The short airstrip is basically a leveled and cleaned up piece of land, it is not paved,-surrounded by a dense tropical forest and narrow streams- where small regional aircrafts like DHC-6 Twin Otter or Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander of Solomon Airlines could only land. There is a small wooden cabin by the strip, but there’s no electricity nor means of communication with the main land.
