Whitegrass Airport — Tanna Island, Vanuatu

Whitegrass Airport serves Tanna Island in Vanuatu's Tafea Province, offering the primary air link to a destination famed for the active Mount Yasur volcano and traditional Melanesian village life. TAH handles domestic turboprop flights connecting Tanna to Port Vila on Efate, supporting tourism, cargo, and essential services for island residents. The airstrip is modest, with a single runway suited to smaller aircraft operated by regional carriers such as Air Vanuatu. Weather and volcanic ash occasionally affect scheduling. Despite its small scale, Whitegrass plays an outsized role in Tanna's economy, enabling visitors to reach guesthouses, kava bars, and cultural sites that draw travelers from across the Pacific and beyond each year.
