Which side of the plane to sit from Ipota Airport (Ipota) to Tanna Airport (Tanna)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views of Tanna's rugged coastline and the potential to spot the volcanic plume of Mount Yasur in the distance during the approach.

South Pacific Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue ocean channel between Erromango and Tanna islands.
Mount Yasur Plume
Look southeast on the approach to Tanna for the distinct ash cloud of the world's most accessible active volcano.
Tanna Central Highlands
The dense, mountainous interior of Tanna featuring jagged ridges and deep tropical valleys.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun glare. As you approach Tanna, keep your eyes peeled for the persistent smoke plume of Mount Yasur toward the south-east. This side provides a better perspective of the island's mountainous spine before the plane banks for its final descent into Whitegrass.

Erromango Coastline
Aerial views of the lush, sandalwood-rich forests and cliffs of southern Erromango during takeoff.
Fringing Coral Reefs
Vibrant turquoise reef systems visible through the crystal-clear water along Tanna's northern coast.
White Grass Plains
The unique, savannah-like landscape surrounding the airport, often dotted with wild horses.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to capture the golden hour lighting on the coastline. This side offers the best view of the reef structures as the plane maneuvers to land at Whitegrass Airport. During the months of July to October, watch the water below for migrating humpback whales in the channel.
