FFA surveillance aircraft deployed to support Cyclone Maila response
The Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) Aerial Surveillance Aircraft arrived in Honiara, on Sunday 12 April to support the Solomon Islands National Disaster Management Office(NDMO) with post-impact damage assessments following Cyclone Maila.
Working alongside national teams, the deployment will capture critical aerial imagery to better understand the damage and support response efforts, while also informing recovery planning across affected areas.
Cyclone Maila reached Category 5 and battered villages across Solomon Islands, causing widespread damage -particularly in Western, Choiseul and Isabel provinces, where schools, clinics and homes have been affected.
A strong example of FFA in action, supporting our Pacific Members when it matters most.

Australia has pledged AU$2.5 million in emergency assistance to Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands after Tropical Cyclone Maila triggered severe flooding and landslides that killed at least 11 people. Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape said relief operations are underway despite disrupted communications, as authorities work to reach affected communities across remote regions, including hard-hit Bougainville.
