SkyAirWorld leads famil to the Solomon Islands

13 May 2008

Brisbane-based airline, SkyAirWorld, celebrated its new Brisbane – Honiara route with a recent media and trade famil to the Solomon Islands. Flying on board the airline’s new E-190 and E-170 Embraer jets, the group of media and product development managers spent four days exploring and conducting site visits in the island nation’s Western Province region.

The trip included some great snorkeling over coral reefs and World War II wrecks, as well as fishing. The group visited many of the islands, including Skull Island and Kennedy Island, named after former US president John F Kennedy who was stranded there during WWII. The group were entertained by local dancers and musicians each night whilst feasting on the outstanding local cuisine of crayfish, crab and kingfish.

Both the Western Province Tourism Board and the Solomon Islands Visitors Bureau extended a warm welcome to the group as they seek to increase tourism to the Solomon Islands.
