Air Vanuatu cabins and aircraft

Route data · Jul 2026

Source: Originfacts route-network dataset, built from TravelPayouts route data (updated 2026-07). Not verified by hand.

Cabin names and seat details are not yet verified for Air Vanuatu. What the route dataset does record is which aircraft types have appeared on its routes:

  • Aerospatiale/Alenia ATR
  • Airbus A320
  • Boeing 737-700
  • Boeing 737-800
  • De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter
  • Pilatus Britten-Norman BN-2A/B
  • Yunshuji Y-12/Xian Y-12

Seat pitch is a property of the aircraft cabin rather than of the airline, so a single figure for this carrier’s legroom would be misleading. Pitch publishes per aircraft type once each figure is verified.

A record of what has flown, not a current fleet

The route dataset accumulates equipment over time and is not a fleet register: it can name types Air Vanuatu has retired, miss recent additions, and it covers only flights sold under NF. Seat pitch and cabin configuration are not verified for this carrier.

Sources and verification

Baggage, fare, check-in, disruption and contact figures are published only when they are read from Air Vanuatu’s own pages or a named regulator, and each one shows the page and the date it was checked. Where sources disagree we show both and publish neither. Route and destination figures come from the Originfacts route dataset and show its date instead; they are not verified by hand.
