Air Vanuatu entered voluntary liquidation on Friday, restricting access to the island nation.
Air Vanuatu has entered voluntary liquidation after suddenly cancelling dozens of its international flights. Several figures from EY Australia were appointed liquidators on Friday. The Pacific nation's carrier cancelled more than 20 flights to and from Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland for the rest of the week on Wednesday, which was attributed to "extended maintenance requirements" on aircraft.
They also suggested that they would likely need to fly via Fiji or New Caledonia to get home. "We're definitely pretty keen to get home as soon as we can," Adara said. Katrina Sheiles from Sydney is also waiting to hear whether her scheduled flight back on 17 May will go ahead.
