## Description

A short airstrip among the Banks Islands of northern Vanuatu, Gaua Island Airport (ZGU) sees only light domestic propeller flights touch down. There is no cargo terminal and no customs post; freight is limited to a few kilograms of mail, spare parts and urgent items carried in the cabin. Anything larger, or any international shipment, moves first to Santo Pekoa (SON) and then to the main gateway at Bauerfield (VLI) in Port Vila. For forwarders, ZGU is a last-mile island stop rather than a freight point.
