Location

Olpoi, Vanuatu

North West Santo Airport, designated IATA code OLJ and ICAO code NVSZ, is a small domestic airstrip located near the village of Olpoi on the northwestern coast of Espiritu Santo island in Vanuatu. It serves as a vital air link for the remote communities of the region, where road access is extremely limited. The airport handles light aircraft operations and supports scheduled domestic services connecting the area to other parts of Vanuatu. It plays an important role in providing access to healthcare, goods, and transport for the surrounding population.
