    Air charter, door-to-door

    The Solomon Islands sit on the eastern edge of the Coral Sea and are characterised by a dispersed island geography, limited road infrastructure and a strong dependence on aviation for inter-island movement, medevac and supply. Honiara International (HIR) is the principal gateway, with a network of provincial and outer-island strips supporting resources, government, mission and humanitarian movement.

    Aviall arranges passenger and group charter, fixed-wing medevac and cargo charter sized to the mission, not to a fixed fleet. Aircraft options inside the hour, written quote with a wheels-up window, and a single point of accountability from booking to landing.

    Primary airports

    Once the aircraft is fixed, so is the list of usable fields and staging hubs.

    • Honiara (HIR/AGGH), primary gateway; jet capability and widebody handling with prior coordination
    • Munda (MUA), Gizo (GZO), Auki (AKS) and provincial strips for outer-island and resources work
    • Remote and resources airstrips supporting mining, forestry and exploration projects

    Use cases

    Charter demand in the Solomon Islands is shaped by resources sector movements, government and mission travel, dispersed-island medevac requirements, and humanitarian and disaster-response work across the wider Melanesian region.

    • Resources and project crew rotations into Honiara and outer-island resources sites
    • Inter-island and outer-island light aircraft charter for government, mission and business travel
    • ICU-grade medevac from outer islands and provincial centres into Honiara, Brisbane and Auckland tertiary hospitals
    • Outbound medevac repatriation from the Solomon Islands to home-country hospitals worldwide
    • Time-critical and AOG cargo charter for resources, infrastructure and outer-island supply chains
    • Humanitarian, disaster-response and government movements across the South Pacific

    Mission examples · Illustrative

    What this looks like in operation

    Representative mission profiles drawn from recurring work. Identifying details, operators, hospitals, routes, aircraft tail numbers, are intentionally omitted.

    Sport · Team movement

    Professional squad on a tight fixture turnaround

    A professional sporting organisation required a squad, support staff and freight moved between two domestic fixtures on a turnaround scheduled flights could not deliver. Aviall configured a narrow-body charter with a freight pallet and custom catering aligned to performance protocols.

    Outcome

    Squad on the ground at the next venue with a full evening's recovery time intact.

    International · Repatriation

    Long-range stretcher repatriation across the Pacific

    A complex case with ventilator and infusion support required movement from a regional Pacific facility back to a domestic tertiary centre. Aviall configured a long-range jet with a critical-care medical fit-out, coordinated bed-to-bed handover with both treating teams, and managed customs and immigration at each stop.

    Outcome

    Bed-to-bed transfer completed without clinical deterioration en route.

    Heavy lift · Project cargo

    Outsize mining component into a remote regional strip

    An ASX-listed resources operator faced a stalled processing line waiting on a single oversized component too large for any scheduled freighter. Aviall sourced an outsize main-deck nose-loader, completed pavement and load-spread checks at the regional destination, and coordinated road movement permits at both ends.

    Outcome

    Component on site inside 72 hours of first call; production line restart same week.

    Resources · FIFO

    Project-scale FIFO into a remote site

    A project ramp-up required a workforce moved into a remote site on a multi-week rotation pattern. Aviall set a published schedule on a contracted aircraft, with manifest integration into the client's HR system and ground transport coordinated at the regional gateway.

    Outcome

    Rotation pattern delivered without missed shifts across the project window.

    Neonatal · Critical

    Neonatal transfer to a tertiary paediatric centre

    A neonate requiring escalated care had to be moved from a regional hospital to a metropolitan paediatric tertiary centre. Aviall coordinated an aeromedical aircraft and a specialist retrieval team, with isolette-compatible loading and parent transit on the same airframe.

    Outcome

    Patient delivered to receiving NICU within the clinical window agreed by both teams.

    AOG · Time critical

    Replacement engine to a wide-body grounded overseas

    A major carrier had a wide-body grounded at a foreign hub, awaiting a replacement engine sitting in a domestic MRO. Aviall positioned a freighter to the MRO, coordinated dangerous goods documentation for the engine and stand, and held a flight-following bridge with the airline's tech ops cell door-to-door.

    Outcome

    Engine wheels-up inside 14 hours of release; aircraft returned to service the next operational day.

    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Honiara (HIR) is the primary gateway for jet and widebody movements. Outer-island and resources work uses turboprop and light-jet aircraft into provincial strips selected for runway length and payload.

    Why operators, brokers and end clients keep calling back

    Credibility built on operational discipline, not marketing

    "Quote came back inside the hour with two aircraft options, written wheels-up windows and the cost-versus-time trade-off laid out. That is what we expect and rarely get."

    , Project logistics manager · Resources sector

    "Documentation, NOTOCs and DG paperwork were closed before we'd finished briefing our customer. No back-and-forth, no surprises at the ramp."

    , Senior freight forwarder · Global 3PL

    "They run the mission like an operator, not like a broker. That distinction matters when the cargo is heavy, the route is hard and the clock is real."
