Solomon Airlines apologises for unexpected disruption to international services

“We are doing all that we can to obtain the part as soon as possible to ensure that we can resume our  normal scheduled operations.’’  

“We anticipate the part to arrive in Brisbane early on Saturday morning and to be fitted during the  morning. This may result in a delay to Saturday’s services as well and we will keep our passengers fully  informed,” he said. 

“Safety is our foremost priority and the aircraft could not be dispatched without this problem being  resolved satisfactorily,” he added.
