Virgin to Port Villa delay

Howdy All,
Have just received an email from Virgin saying my flight from Port Villa to Sydney has been delayed by a day.
The resort manager where I have been staying, says that this is not an uncommon occurrence, as Virgin policy does not allow them to land in the rain.
Had a plane get overhead the Field last year, then turned back to Sydney!

Allowing for a bit of Hyperbole, as it might be a runway distance issue affecting the 777 they fly here.
Given the amount of rain we have had in this tropical paradise over the past six months, this would be regular occurence.
Have mostly flown with QANTAS/ Air Vanuatu, so this is my first experience with Virgin.
Any Virgin jockeys have an idea as to the policy for landing at Bauerfield???

Mick
