Santo International Airport serves as the primary entry point for visitors to Espiritu Santo, the largest island in Vanuatu. The airport retains a distinctive WWII-era control tower, a remnant of its past as a U.S. military base during the Pacific campaign. Arriving travelers are greeted by a laid-back tropical atmosphere, with the terminal offering basic amenities. The airport's compact size and historical character make it a unique introduction to the island's wartime heritage and natural beauty.
