Aneityum Airport (AUY), located on the picturesque Mystery Island (Inyeug Island), generally offers a unique and welcoming experience, highly praised for its stunning natural beauty and the friendly atmosphere provided by locals. While travelers express satisfaction with the overall charm and as a gateway to exploring Vanuatu, the airport's facilities are noted for their basic nature.

What Travelers Love

Common Complaints
  • Basic Facilities: The terminal and runway are described as very basic, reflecting the remote island setting. The airport has a single grass runway.
  • Limited Amenities: There's a check-in desk, seating area, and baggage trolley, but extensive modern amenities are not present. Local tips suggest bringing cash as card facilities may be limited on the island.
  • Limited Security/Accessibility: The airport is not fenced off or secured from the public, allowing people to explore the runway and terminal.
  • Infrequent Flights: The airport has a limited flight schedule, with Air Vanuatu offering a single weekly service to Tanna.
  • Transportation from Main Island: While parking is available, travelers arriving from the main Anatom Island often use water taxis, as the airport is on the smaller Inyeug Island.

Aneityum Airport offers a truly distinctive and scenic entry point to Vanuatu's southern islands, despite its very basic infrastructure. Travelers seeking a tranquil and authentic island experience, appreciating natural beauty and local interactions over modern airport conveniences, will likely find their visit highly satisfying.
