Nana Airport (IATA: NAZ, ICAO:AGNA) is located in the the city of Star Harbour, Solomon islands.
Airport Overview
Nana Airport (NAZ), identified by ICAO code AGNA, is located at Star Harbour in Solomon Islands. The supplied airport record places the airport at 10.675800° S, 162.204900° E, in the UTC+11:00 time zone. Its remote island setting indicates a local or regional aviation role rather than a major international cargo gateway. The airport should therefore be treated as a pre-arranged, capacity-sensitive point for time-critical local replenishment and project logistics, with onward routing normally requiring coordination through a larger Solomon Islands gateway or another regional hub. The record lists no scheduled cargo or express operators; our service team will verify current passenger-carrier uplift, aircraft type, handling arrangements, customs requirements and acceptance windows before confirming any booking.

Key Highlights
Remote island access Pre-arranged handling Gateway connection likely Capacity-sensitive uplift- Our team treats Nana Airport as a regional access point, not as a self-contained international cargo hub.
- Because the supplied record shows no dedicated cargo or express operators, uplift may depend on available passenger aircraft belly capacity, charter arrangements or consolidated regional connections.
- Small-station handling can involve limited storage, manual acceptance and restricted acceptance periods; cargo should not be dispatched until the local agent confirms readiness.
- Weather, aircraft payload limits, infrequent rotations and inter-island transshipment can affect the final delivery plan.
Cargo Facilities & Services
Publicly supplied data does not establish a dedicated freight terminal, cold room, bonded warehouse or dangerous-goods facility at Nana Airport. Our service team will confirm the following before accepting cargo:
- Acceptance and handling: whether cargo is handled by an airport agent, passenger-carrier ground handler or a locally appointed representative.
- Storage: availability of covered holding space, segregation arrangements and maximum dwell time. Do not assume temperature-controlled, frozen or secure storage.
- Customs and quarantine: whether clearance is completed locally or coordinated through the connecting gateway before inter-island uplift.
- Special cargo: prior acceptance is essential for dangerous goods, lithium batteries, live animals, human remains, perishables and oversized pieces.
- Delivery and collection: local trucking, consignee identification, road or boat transfer and manual proof-of-delivery arrangements may need to be organized in advance.
Facility capability, operating hours and service availability must be confirmed case by case with the active carrier or local handling representative.
Routes & Transit Times
- International shipments will usually require a connection through a larger Solomon Islands gateway or a regional hub; the actual routing depends on the origin, carrier acceptance and available onward uplift.
- For domestic or inter-island cargo, the operating carrier may use passenger aircraft belly space, ad hoc charter capacity or a mixed air-and-sea solution. Specific airline, frequency and aircraft type must be confirmed before booking.
- Transit performance is affected by connection alignment, payload restrictions, weather, runway or operational limitations, customs release and the availability of local delivery craft or vehicles.
- Our platform will quote only after checking the complete airport-to-consignee chain. Published schedules should be treated as indicative until the carrier confirms the booking and final connection.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
Nana Airport primarily serves the Star Harbour area and nearby island communities. The accessible hinterland is geographically constrained, so the practical delivery point may include a subsequent road, boat or local-agent movement rather than airport collection alone.
- Typical demand may include essential consumer supplies, food provisions, spare parts, maintenance materials and small commercial consignments.
- Remote-community and project cargo can include tools, telecommunications equipment, medical supplies and urgent replacement components, subject to carrier acceptance.
- Perishables and chilled products require confirmed cold-chain responsibility at every transfer point; the airport should not be presumed to provide refrigerated storage.
- High-value electronics, documents and samples should use robust packaging, clear consignee contact details and a pre-arranged secure handover.
Operations & Compliance
- Cut-off: the effective cargo cut-off is carrier- and flight-specific. Our team will obtain the confirmed acceptance deadline; late tendering can result in rollover to a later uplift.
- Documentation: prepare a commercial invoice, packing list, air waybill instructions, accurate commodity description, shipper and consignee contacts, and any import, quarantine or permit documents required for the commodity.
- Dangerous goods: batteries, aerosols, chemicals, fuels and equipment containing batteries require correct classification, packaging, marks, labels and a shipper’s declaration where applicable. Acceptance must be secured before dispatch.
- Inspection and delivery: customs, biosecurity or carrier checks may delay release. Consignees should be ready with identification, payment arrangements and a practical collection or local-delivery plan.
Shipping Tips
- Send the full shipment profile to our service team before packing: commodity, pieces, dimensions, gross weight, value, battery content, temperature requirement and final delivery location.
- Request a routing feasibility check before the supplier tenders cargo. For urgent or commercial-volume shipments, compare an air-to-gateway plus domestic connection with an air-and-sea alternative.
- Use compact, moisture-resistant packaging with clear piece marks and a contact label inside and outside each package. Keep dimensions within the confirmed aircraft and handling limits.
- Build contingency time for connection changes, weather disruption, customs inspection and local transfer. Do not send perishables or controlled cargo until storage and handover responsibilities are documented.
