Viru Harbour Airstrip (VIU)

Viru Harbour Airstrip (AGVH (VIU)) is a private airstrip located in Viru, Western Province, Solomon Islands.

• The airstrip has an elevation of approximately 101 to 130 feet (31 to 40 meters) above mean sea level.
• Its runway surface is noted as "Soft."
• The ICAO code for the airstrip is AGVH, and its IATA code is VIU.
• Given its classification as a private and small airport with no airline service, the presence of commercial terminal facilities, scheduled commercial flights, or extensive passenger services (such as security checkpoints, lounges, dining, or currency exchange) is highly unlikely.

While Viru Harbor itself held historical significance during World War II as a staging base for Allied forces during the New Georgia campaign in 1943, specific verifiable facts linking the current airstrip directly to an airfield developed for military aviation during that period are limited.
