Remote airstrip serving Erromango Island, Vanuatu.

Location

Ipota, Vanuatu

Ipota Airport is a small domestic airstrip located near the village of Ipota on Erromango Island in Vanuatu. It serves as a vital air link for the island's sparse population, providing access to the broader Vanuatu domestic aviation network. The airport handles light aircraft and small turboprop operations, consistent with the limited infrastructure typical of outer-island airstrips in Vanuatu. It plays an important role in connecting Erromango's communities to Port Vila and other regional centers. Erromango is one of Vanuatu's larger islands but remains sparsely populated, and the airport is a key lifeline for residents needing access to medical services, commerce, and government facilities.

Terminals

The airport has a basic single terminal structure suited to small domestic traffic volumes.

Getting to & from

Ground transport options from the airstrip to Ipota village and surrounding areas are limited, primarily consisting of informal local vehicles.
