The Samoan government says its new airline will offer flights from Apia to Auckland, Brisbane and Sydney using one Boeing 737, according to local media reports.
The airline, called Samoa Airways, is due to take off on November 12 2017 with a 737 leased from Icelandair, the Samoa Observer said.
In May, the Samoan government announced it was terminating the Virgin Samoa joint-venture between Virgin Australia and the country that was first established in 2005. Media reports at the time said the decision to ditch the JV was due to concerns over high fares.
