jdchuy1981 20:08 UTC 14 Mar 2017 | I am planning to visit Vanuatu and Tanna in August. I am a bit worried about the situation of the airport. Does anyone know if its safe for planes to land there? Does it depend on the plane or its like generally unsafe? My flights are not in big boeing planes but more in smaller planes operated by Fiji Airways. |
