Solomon Airlines Unveils Up to 20% Off Key International Routes for Boxing Day.

Solomon Airlines, the national carrier of the Solomon Islands, has launched a Boxing Day Sale offering significant discounted air fares on key international and regional routes. The airline announced savings of up to 20% off its best available year-round fares. This move aims to stimulate forward bookings for the 2026 travel year.

Key Details and Destinations

The promotional campaign covers five popular destinations. These include major international hubs and regional gateways. The routes on sale connect Brisbane (Australia) and Auckland (New Zealand) with Honiara, Munda, and Espiritu Santo (Vanuatu). Honiara International Airport (HIR) serves as the airline's main hub.

Travel and Fare Information

The Solomon Airlines Boxing Day sale runs from December 26 to January 12, 2026, or until tickets are sold out. The highly competitive airfare prices apply to travel across four distinct periods in 2026:

• February 1 to March 31
• May 1 to May 31
• August 1 to August 31
• November 1 to November 30

Example fares include Brisbane Honiara flights from AUD$399 one-way. Brisbane to Munda is also available from AUD$399 one-way. The Brisbane to Auckland route starts at AUD$295 one-way. These prices position the airline competitively for South Pacific travel deals.

Full-Service Model and Fleet

Solomon Airlines operates as a full-service carrier. This means passengers receive complimentary inflight meals and drinks. The airline also offers a generous checked baggage allowance. Economy class passengers can check 30kg of luggage, plus a 7kg cabin bag, on all international flights. The airline primarily uses its Airbus A320 aircraft for these international services.

Industry Impact and Market Context

This sale aligns with a positive trend in the regional market. The broader Asia Pacific air travel sector is expected to lead global growth in 2026. International departures are forecasted to rise by 9.3% across the region, according to industry data. Such international flight savings help drive demand in the South Pacific. They encourage tourism and business travel between key island nations and Australia/New Zealand. The airline’s airline promotional campaign provides a boost to regional connectivity. This is especially important for routes like Munda Auckland routes.

This push for bookings capitalizes on the growing passenger confidence. It also supports the ongoing recovery of the Pacific island tourism sector. For more commercial aviation news and industry updates, visit flying.flights.
