Tavie Airport guide

Tavie Airport is a small grass airstrip at Tavie, in the north of Paama island in Malampa Province, Vanuatu. Its ICAO code is NVSI, and Wikipedia now lists it as Paama Airport. The strip sits about 2 metres above sea level on a single runway, designated 09/27, that measures roughly 610 metres.

Paama is a small island, about 8 km from north to south and 5 km across at its widest, with around 1,600 residents. Most people live on the west coast, and Liro is the island's council and administrative centre and its most heavily populated village. The airstrip is described as one of the shortest in Vanuatu.

Air Vanuatu has served Paama from Port Vila in the past, but the route is listed as inactive in some flight databases, with the last scheduled flight in March 2025. Confirm current flights with Air Vanuatu before travelling.
