Samoa Air, the only United States certificated air carrier based in the South Pacific, will be celebrating its 10th anniversary in January 1997.
During the past 10 years, Samoa Air has provided air services between Pago Pago, American Samoa and Manua, Tonga and Western Samoa as well as charter operations throughout the South Pacific.
In 1996, Samoa Air completed con struction of a new hangar facility at Pago Pago International Airport where a very significant celebration took place in April.
This year will also be one of transition for Samoa Air, as the airline will be upgrading its certification from 135 to 121 air carrier, enabling the company to add larger aircraft in future.
The airline has no immediate plans for additions to its current fleet as runways at
the airports it services cannot handle larger aircraft. However, if this situation were to change, Samoa Air is prepared to make
the necessary investment to provide the service it feels the travelling public deserves. ■
