The anti-corruption watch-dog Transparency International Vanuatu says the government needs to be clear on what commitment it is making with a Singaporean company that plans to build and operate Vanuatu's airports for the next 50 years.
The government is yet to reveal details of the 350 million US dollar deal which includes a new international airport on the island of Efate.
The President of Transparency International Vanuatu, Marie Noelle Ferrieux Patterson, says the government needs to ensure it is entering a fair deal and suggests it conduct projection and marketing studies.
"It is very important to find out what the promissory notes are. There promissory notes that are going to be signed. What are they signed for? What type of guarantee is the government doing because again I think it's twice our annual budget here."
Marie Noelle Ferrieux Patterson says one thing the government should prioritise is a new tarmac for the existing international airport in Port Vila, which she says urgently needs replacing.
