Hundreds of Australians stranded in Vanuatu

Hundreds of Australians have been left stranded in Vanuatu after the Pacific nation’s only airline Air Vanuatu went into voluntary administration. Dozens of flights have been grounded until Monday as liquidators work through the airline’s finances. It is understood liquidators are considering selling the airline to strategic buyers, such as the Australian and Chinese governments, in a bid to keep Air Vanuatu in the sky. Many passengers are resorting to charter flights to return home.
