Stranded in the Solomon Islands, domestic flights cancelled

[MelMel]

Have you called the Emergency consulate number or just regular. You are coming close to a medical emergency. May be an idea to at least lodge your details

Or maybe the Australian High Commission in Honiara:

+677 21 561 (yes 5 digit phone number)

......

I suspect the weather issue is because any aircraft would need to operate under visual flight rules as there are no precision landing systems at RNL
So this would affect any charter fixed wing as well
Not sure about Helicopters.

Probably try the High Commission again and tell them 3 RAAF planes are in the Solomons

Email sent, not holding my breath.

Yes good point

@Tiki Can you confirm whether you have reported your situation to DFAT or the High Commission? If not, as MelMel mentioned, it's probably time to at least make your situation known to them before it becomes a medical emergency.

Yes I am in touch with Consulate in Honiara and registered. They are aware of the medical situation. It’s not a medical emergency yet, just the potential if he runs out of meds. I can stretch them every 2nd day as per kind doctors here.

Theoretically they are prioritising us for next flight every time one gets cancelled. It’s leaving us in a dilemma because we have a confirmed flight off the island. So unless they cancel all flights for a week or so it looks on the surface that we are getting out.
