Following ongoing consultation with the Solomon Islands Government, Solomon Airlines
will suspend all scheduled international passenger flights effective immediately, in support of the
Government’s COVID-19 action plan. “We are working with the Solomon Islands Government and all stakeholders in protecting the
health and welfare of Solomon Islands people and we apologise for any inconvenience that this
necessary change will cause, ” said Solomon Airlines CEO Brett Gebers.

Effective from tomorrow, the airline’s scheduled international flights are suspended for a period
of several weeks, to be reviewed on a weekly basis.

“Our intention is to resume scheduled international operations as soon as it is safe to do so,
however at this stage it is anticipated that these services may be suspended through April and
May,” Mr Gebers said.

Mr Gebers confirmed that in consultation with the Government, the option to operate special
charter and cargo flights remained, to continue to support the wellbeing of the Solomon Islands
people.

Solomon Airlines domestic flights within the Solomon Islands will continue to operate according

including 31 July 2020. A copy of this policy and the latest Solomon Airlines Travel Advice is
