Talofa Airways
Talofa Airways is a Samoan airline that offers flights within the Polynesian region. It started operations in August 2016 using two Rockwell 690B Turbo Commander aircraft. Talofa Airways is the third airline based in Samoa, after Samoa Air and Polynesian Airlines. As of September 2016, the airline serves three destinations in the region. History Toleafoa Jeffrey Hunter, the founder of Talofa Airways, first had plans to set up an airline business in the region in 1996, when he decided to remain in Samoa rather than return to the United States. After opening a pharmacy in Apia in 2002, Hunter began to invest towards establishing Talofa Airways, which would provide more convenient air travel between Samoa, American Samoa and other islands in Polynesia. He selected the Rockwell 690B Turbo Commander in a nine-seat configuration for the airline's fleet.

Faleolo International Airport
Faleolo International Airport is an airport located west of Apia, the capital of Samoa. Until 1984, Faleolo could not accommodate jets larger than a Boeing 737. Services to the United States, Australia, or New Zealand, could only land at Pago Pago International Airport in American Samoa. Since the airport's expansion most international traffic now uses Faleolo. Until 31 December 2019 small turboprop aircraft used to connect American Samoa and Samoa from Fagali'i Airport in the eastern suburbs of Apia. With the closure of Fagali’i Airport, all aircraft now use Faleolo.

Airlines Of Samoa
An airline is a company that provides air transport services for traveling passengers and freight. Airlines use aircraft to supply these services and may form partnerships or alliances with other airlines for codeshare agreements, in which they both offer and operate the same flight. Generally, airline companies are recognized with an air operating certificate or license issued by a governmental aviation body. Airlines may be scheduled or charter operators. The first airline was the German airship company DELAG, founded on November 16, 1909. The four oldest non-airship airlines that still exist are the Netherlands' KLM (1919), Colombia's Avianca (1919), Australia's Qantas (1920) and the Czech Republic's Czech Airlines (1923). Airline ownership has seen a shift from mostly personal ownership until the 1930s to government-ownership of major airlines from the 1940s to 1980s and back to large-scale privatization following the mid-1980s. Since the 1980s, there has also been a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Fagali'i Airport
Fagali'i Airport is a disused airport located in Fagali'i, Samoa. It has operated intermittently since 1970. History In 1939 the New Zealand colonial administration decided to construct two military airfields in Samoa, one each for land- and sea-planes. The land-based airfield was to be located on land from the Vailele plantation of the government-owned Reparation Estates near Fagali'i, and the site was surveyed. The plans were later abandoned, but in 1969 construction finally began. Flights to Pago Pago were operating by April 1970. Initially a grass-only airstrip, Fagali'i was paved and reopened on 6 July 2002 under the exclusive operation of Polynesian Airlines. It was shut down again in January 2005 due to Government and village concerns over safety and noise. On 1 July 2009, Polynesian Airlines reopened Fagali'i airport and resumed a service that included international flights to Pago Pago, American Samoa. The reopening of the airport was controversial and attracted criti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
