The Independent State of Samoa (formerly known as “Western Samoa”) is a picturesque island nation located in the South Pacific region of the southern hemisphere.
It is the birthplace and center of Polynesian culture, with a typical maritime climate and unique landforms of volcanic islands.
Its land area is only 2934 square kilometers.
Due to the magnificent South Pacific surrounding the entire country, the airport has become the only air passage and checkpoint for entering and exiting Samoa, as well as the most commonly used and convenient external communication channel.
The runway of Samoa Airport, built by the United States during World War II, and the terminal and airport facilities built with Japanese aid in the 1980s, have become outdated, rudimentary, cramped, and inconvenient after more than 30 years of use, and cannot meet the needs of Samoa’s air transportation development.
