Travel on and around the island is easy. For twenty five
cents for most trips and up to $1 for longer rides, travel by Aiga (pronouced
Eye-Ing-a) bus. For travel to the outer islands of American Samoa -- that
is, Ofu, Olasinga, and Ta'u -- the lifeline is a small local airline called
Samoa Air. Flying DeHavilland DHC-6 Twin Otters carrying 18 passengers,
these rugged, safe turboprop airplanes fly to the outer islands as well
as to Western Samoa several times a day. Their faster, sleeker Beechcraft
King Air flies to the Kingdom of Tonga, Niue, Fiji, and other destinations.
Aircraft are also available for charter to such places as Guam, Saipan,
Tinean, and Roratonga. Call (684)699-9106 for reservation and scheduling
information or email Samoa Air.
