AVL welcomes the news shared by the Prime Minister in his speech, that the Council of Ministers has approved the formation of the Tamtam Bubble, re-opening the nation’s borders to Covid-free countries.
The decision will enable quarantine-free international travel to recommence. Jason Rakau commented, “This news, that international travel will be able to restart, is welcomed by AVL, our partner airlines and the whole aviation and tourism community. Whilst limited domestic flying recommenced with Air Vanuatu in May, many of the aviation community based at our airports have been impacted through reduced hours since the borders closed.
They are excited at the prospect of once more welcoming international visitors to our nation. Limited international flights have continued throughout the State of Emergency under the guidance of National Disaster Management Office to enable humanitarian relief, repatriation and cargo flights. To now anticipate scheduled flights and re-engage in the global community is the highlight of our Independence celebrations”.
