Lamen Bay Airport guide

Lamen Bay Airport is a small domestic airstrip on the northwest coast of Epi Island, in Vanuatu's Shefa Province. Its ICAO code is NVSM. The field sits at about 2 metres above sea level, beside Lamen Bay, where the reef is a known habitat for dugongs.

The airport has one grass runway, 14/32, about 850 metres long. Air Vanuatu serves it with scheduled flights to Port Vila, and the island's second airstrip, Valesdir Airport, lies roughly 23 km to the south. There are no published passenger or movement statistics for Lamen Bay.

The airstrip is the main air link for Epi's residents and for visitors heading to the island's guesthouses and beaches. It has no formal taxi or car rental service, so travellers usually arrange a pickup with their bungalow or hotel, often in a 4WD truck.
