Solomon Airlines cuts network capacity, adds domestic fuel levy
April 22nd 2026
Solomon Airlines will reduce flying on its domestic and international network in the April-to-June period to help absorb the rising cost of jet fuel. Read More » The Solomon Islands-headquartered carrier has also added a temporary domestic fuel levy of SB$55 (US$7) per flight sector to offset higher fuel prices. This follows the recent introduction of a levy on international flights. Solomon Airlines said its fuel costs had risen 70% on its domestic network flying, which has placed "substantial financial pressure" on the company. "Solomon Airlines acknowledges that these changes may impact travel plans and assures customers that every effort is being made to minimise disruption while maintaining safe and reliable services," the airline said. "These decisions have not been made lightly, but they are necessary to ensure the sustainability of our domestic services during this period of unprecedented global fuel volatility. The airline will continue to monitor global fuel market conditions and review the temporary measures as circumstances evolve."
