Gwaunaru'u Airport guide

Gwaunaru'u Airport (ICAO: AGGA) serves Auki, the capital of Malaita Province, on the northwest coast of Malaita Island in the Solomon Islands. It lies about 12 km north of the town. Malaita is reached mainly by sea or air from the national capital, so the airstrip gives residents and visitors a direct link to Honiara.

The airport has one runway, 18/36, listed at about 3,120 by 98 feet (roughly 950 by 30 metres). Aviation databases describe it as unattended, with no lighting and no fuel on site. The strip suits small turboprop aircraft such as the Dash 8.

Solomon Airlines is the scheduled carrier. Its Auki route list shows services to Honiara, Atoifi (Uru Harbour Airport) and Manaoba. The airline resumed Auki flights in 2016 after the airport was declared open for commercial services from 30 May 2016. Published sources give no recent passenger or movement counts, so travellers should confirm the current schedule and airport status with the airline before they plan a trip.
