Santo Pekoa International Airport (IATA: SON, ICAO: NVSS) is located near Luganville on Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu's largest island. It serves as the primary air access point for the northern islands of Vanuatu, handling both domestic and limited international traffic. The airport was developed on land that was historically significant during World War II, when Espiritu Santo served as a major Allied military base in the Pacific. The airfield's origins trace back to wartime construction by American forces. Today, the airport connects Luganville to Port Vila and select regional destinations, supporting tourism, commerce, and inter-island connectivity in this remote Pacific archipelago.
