Quoting the Solomon Islands Broadcasting Corporation � 12 March 2018
�The country�s second international airport, the Munda airport in New Georgia, Western Province, is nearing completion.
�Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Communication and Aviation Moses Virivolomo said his ministry is making progress in its work to meet all requirements prior to the project deadline.
�The fencing is finished; runway lights and lighting are almost finished,� Mr Virivolomo said. �Fire trucks will arrive by the end of April, and the airport should be tentatively completed by June.�
�It is anticipated that once the Munda International Airport enters its operational phase, it will boost tourism in the province and serve as a backup for services offered at the Henderson International Airport in Honiara.
�The New Zealand Government committed about US$26 million to the airport project.�
