I am saddened by the reports coming in of the devastation caused to Vanuatu by tropical cyclone Pam just a few days ago.

It would seem that Efate has been very badly damaged, but I think Bauer field is still operational.
The southern island of Tanna has been comprehensivly flattened. Estimates of 70 to 80% of the buildings there being destroyed.

I have not seen any reports of damage to Santo. Being quite a bit further north it may have escaped the worst.

I would assume that any aircraft that failed to escape would have been destroyed, as hangerage in Efate is extremely limited, and non-existant elsewhere.

My thoughts go out to the people there.
