    After a three-month absence, Solomon Airlines’ Dash 8 aircraft (H4-SOL) has resumed full operation on the national carrier’s domestic services as of Friday, 11 June 2016.

    Solomon Airlines General Manager – Operations & Commercial, Gus Kraus said that after close on three months out of operation it was with a great sense of pride that the carrier welcomed the Dash 8 back into service.

    “’Megapode’ has been sorely missed,” Kraus said.

    “Solomon Airlines would like to thank our valued travellers and the general public for their patience and understanding during the Dash 8’s absence. We look forward to the aircraft once again providing a safe and comfortable return to a service that provides a vital air link for the people of the Solomon Islands.
