Meliana is the first point of contact for all customer enquiries. As well as ensuring all reservation enquiries and processing, she likes to personally check-in everyone for their flight and generally keep the lives of the rest of the team in order. Mili is originally from the island of Malekula but has lived in Port Vila for most of her adult life. She is fluent in 3 languages, including English and of course the local language Bislama. A tireless workaholic, she is the glue that binds Air Taxi together, an integral part of the team.
Brian Johnstone
Chief Engineer & Maintenance Controller
Brian has been involved in aviation from an early age. Together with his wife Jules, he owns and operates an aircraft engineering facility at Port Vila Airport, Airworx Engineering Ltd. Airworx Engineering, through its aircraft leasing arm, own a number of the aircraft operated by Air Taxi. This puts Air Taxi in the unique position of having its own, dedicated aircraft engineering facility, providing the highest levels of maintenance to the Air Taxi fleet. Airworx also provides commercial jet maintenance services to Air New Zealand, Virgin, Air Fiji, Solomon Airways and Air Calin.
Possessed with the patience of a saint, for BJ, nothing is ever a problem.
The small and personal team at Air Taxi is well equipped to ensure you fly safely, to the many exotic islands of Vanuatu with lots of fun thrown in.
Flight safety is the mainstay of our company culture; we are Civil Aviation Authority Vanuatu (CAAV) compliant, and we train our pilots to exceed the Authority standards. Our aircraft are owned and maintained in country by our International Licensed Aircraft Engineer, the same engineer that completes pre-flight inspections of the international jets, so you are in good hands.
We offer tours to several of the active volcanoes of Vanuatu such as Mt Yasur volcano on Tanna and Ambrym island, and charter flights to see traditional cultural displays, tours to see the famous Pentecost Nagol Land Diving, flights to Eco-lodges such as Epi island, the white sandy beaches of Espiritu Santo such as Champagne beach, jungle forests of Malekula island, the coral reefs of Mystery island, snorkeling holidays, wildlife viewing, hiking and day or half day flight seeing joy flights over the pristine bays of Port Vila.
Let us take you to see the best that Vanuatu has to offer, if it has an airstrip we’ll get you there.
While we believe we offer the best prices for tours to Tanna Volcano, if you are quoted a better price from another operator for a similar Tour to Tanna, we will happily beat it!
