Aniwa is one of the smallest inhabited islands in Vanuatu, and Aniwa Airport (IATA: AWD, ICAO: NVVB) amounts to a short natural-surface strip served by light domestic aircraft. There is no cargo terminal, no customs post and no cold-chain capacity; goods reach the island mainly by ship, by air only in small quantities as loose loads. For air freight the reference point is Port Vila Bauerfield (VLI) some 250 kilometres to the north-west, from where consignments for Aniwa are transferred onto island supply services.
