Meanwhile the Samoa government owned airline announced early this week that it will resume air services to Asau Airport on Savaii island from Upolu island beginning Apr.1st during the busy Easter and Election holidays to help boost local tourism on the big island.

It has been six years since flights were suspended between Upolu and the Asau Airport, which several years ago, had direct service to Pago Pago, when then Pago Pago-based Samoa Aviation was in operation at the time.
