Speaking to FBC News from King Solomon Hotel in Honiara, she says the situation has been stressful not knowing what will happen next.

Mataitini who has been with Air Kiribati for six years says she will reflect on her experience later.

“I guess as a pilot you are really calm in stressful situations, I guess once I get back to Tarawa I will think about this experience.”

Mataitini adds she has been in contact with her employer and they might be able to leave Solomon Island in another two weeks.
