Faleolo International Airport
Faleolo International Airport is an
airport located 40km west of
Apia, the capital of
Samoa.Until 1984, Faleolo could not accommodate jets larger than a
Boeing 737. Larger jets, such as the
Boeing 747, which are commonly used to service faraway destinations such as the US West Coast, Australia or New Zealand, could only land at nearby
Pago Pago International Airport in the village of
Tafuna, in the
American Samoa. Since the airport's expansion, however, most international traffic now serves Faleolo, and Tafuna only has service to
Honolulu.
