Regional
Flights
The
quickest and easiest way to get around the regions of
Solomon Islands is by air and Solomon Airlines has a
comprehensive service to the main towns and population
hubs.
The
planes are older and sometimes you will be landing on
grass strips but that all adds to the adventure of visiting
the Solomon Islands.
