Pago Pago International Airport is the primary commercial airport serving American Samoa, a U.S. territory located in the South Pacific Ocean. Situated near the capital city of Pago Pago on the island of Tutuila, the airport sits along the southern coast of the island and serves as the territory's main link to the wider world. The airport has historically been served by a limited number of airlines given American Samoa's remote location. It handles both passenger and cargo operations, with cargo being particularly important to the territory's economy. The facility is managed under the American Samoa Government and serves as a critical infrastructure asset for the islands. The runway and facilities have undergone various improvements over the years to accommodate modern aircraft. The airport plays a vital role in connecting American Samoa to Honolulu, Hawaii, as well as to neighboring Pacific island nations such as Samoa and Fiji.
