“Travelers coming in contribute to our economy. If the airport isn’t reliable, many people would not be able to support their families.” Jimmy Tasso has been working at Vanuatu’s Bauerfield International Airport for 26 years and knows the importance of sustaining Vanuatu’s link to the outside world. We’re proud to have supported the government of Vanuatu 🇻🇺 through an aviation project, helping connect the country with the world. 🛫🛄 Meet Jimmy: http://wrld.bg/2cWC50xxWii | World Bank Pacific
