Three Pacific airlines have agreed to work together with the signing of a code share agreement.
Air Niugini, Air Vanuatu and Solomon Airlines have entered into the deal for the Port Moresby/Honiara/Port Vila route, which they hope to start in June.
Under this agreement, Air Vanuatu and Solomon Airlines will be using Air Niugini's Fokker 100 aircraft.
A joint statement from the airlines indicates the initial code share will form the basis of further co-operation.
