Air aviation news – The Solomon Island’s government quietly dropped a SBD20 million Solomon Islands dollar (USD2.4 million) debt owed to it by state-owned Solomons – Solomon Airlines<\/a>\u00a0(IE,\u00a0Honiara<\/a>), according to the Solomon Star newspaper.<\/p>\n

The country’s 2022 budget, handed down in April 2022, reportedly accounted for the forgiven debt that was facilitated by the Minister for Finance and Treasury, Harry Kuma. However, there is no specific reference to this in the published 2022 budget speech, approved development budget, or approved recurrent budget.<\/p>\n

“In the 2022 budget, we saw it fit to forgo SBD20 million debts that Solomon Airlines has with the government and that is the big relief for Solomon Airlines,\u201d said Minister for Communication and Aviation, Peter Shanel Agovaka, at an event at Henderson Airfield in Honiara to mark the arrival of the airline’s second\u00a0A320-200<\/a>. ch-aviation has contacted the minister’s office for further information.<\/p>\n

That second\u00a0Airbus<\/a>\u00a0(AIB,\u00a0Toulouse Blagnac<\/a>)-0, H4-SAL (msn 5566), ferried in from\u00a0Brisbane International<\/a>\u00a0on July 27. The aircraft’s arrival doubles the carrier’s jet capacity, joining its…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Solomon Airlines in talks for second A320<\/a><\/h3>\n

16.05.2023 – 03:20 UTC<\/span>Solomons – Solomon Airlines<\/a>\u00a0(IE,\u00a0Honiara<\/a>) is looking to secure a second\u00a0A320-200<\/a>\u00a0to capitalise on demand for travel to Honiara for the 17th Pacific Games later this year. Solomon Airlines CEO Gus Kraus told the Solomon Islands Broadcasting Commission that a letter of intent (LOI) had been signed with the lessor and lease negotiations were expected to commence shortly.<\/p>\n

If the lease proceeds, it will provide the state-owned carrier with its second jet aircraft and offer some much needed capacity when the other aircraft goes out of service. Kraus did not provide specific information on the incoming aircraft, other than saying it was former\u00a0Jetstar Airways<\/a>\u00a0(JQ,\u00a0Melbourne Tullamarine<\/a>) Airbus stock, and that he hoped to have it by July or August.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe purchase will see us having a new modern airplane that is under 10 years old,” he said. “That\u2019s the newest airplane we\u2019ve got.” Solomon Airlines currently operates a fleet of five aircraft, including one 18.04 year-old A320-200, one 31.79 year-old\u00a0DHC-8-100<\/a>, and three\u00a0DHC-6-300<\/a>s variously aged…<\/p>\n
