SOLOMON ISLANDS AIRCRAFT REGISTER
Compiled by David Wise
Back to NZ & Pacific Register Index
Solomon Islands were part of the British Pacific Islands with aircraft using the VP-Pxx registration block.
Following independence, all current VP-Pxx aircraft were re-registered in Solomon Islands as H4-xxx from July 1978, with some moving on to the Vanuatu (ex New Hebrides) YJ- register when it was set up in March 1981.
The CAA website is: https://www.caasi.gov.sb. The office is at Honiara Airport.
Information collated from a trawl through a set of Air Britain News and recent reports via the internet; also additions from a cross-check with Joe Barr Jan 2013. Islanders corrected and updated 5/20 thanks to BN historians. Twin Otters cross-checked with Twinotterarchive.com and www.twinotterworld.com/. Helicopters cross-checked with www.rotorspot.nl
