About Mono Airport

Mono Airport (IATA: MNY, ICAO: AGGO) is a small domestic airstrip situated on Mono Island in the Shortland Islands group of the Western Province of Solomon Islands. The airport features a compact gravel runway capable of accommodating turboprop and light piston aircraft, making it best suited to smaller aircraft categories typical of inter-island Pacific operations. Originally developed to serve the isolated communities of the Shortland Islands, the facility operates under Solomon Islands Civil Aviation Authority oversight and processes arriving passengers through basic but functional customs and immigration procedures. Facilities on the ground are minimal and in keeping with the island’s unspoilt character, with coordination handled through the broader Solomon Islands aviation network rather than a large fixed terminal. Its remote location and short runway make advance coordination with local handling agents essential for any private charter operation.

Private Jet Charter Tips for Stirling Island Mono

• Best time to visit — April to November represents the drier season in the Western Solomon Islands, offering clearer skies and calmer seas ideal for diving and island exploration
• Transfer to city — the airport sits within approximately 1 km of the main Stirling Island settlement; boat transfers and local vehicles are the primary options, with helicopter positioning available through advance arrangement
• Recommended aircraft — given the short gravel runway at MNY, turboprop aircraft such as a Cessna Caravan or Twin Otter are most appropriate for the final island leg; longer positioning flights should use midsize or heavy jets to Honiara (HIR)
