About the airline

Inter Island Airways is a regional carrier based in Samoa, founded in 1993. Operating from Pago Pago International Airport, it specializes in inter-island connectivity across the South Pacific using small turboprop aircraft.

Fleet

Inter Island Airways was established in 1993 as a regional airline serving the South Pacific. Based in Samoa and operating from its main hub at Pago Pago International Airport, the airline focuses on connecting remote island communities where larger aircraft cannot operate efficiently.

The airline's network centers on regional routes between Pacific islands, utilizing a specialized fleet suited to the demands of inter-island travel. Its operations reflect the geography and infrastructure constraints of the South Pacific region, where reliable air connectivity is essential for commerce, tourism, and community links.

Inter Island Airways operates a fleet of Dornier turboprop aircraft-specifically the Dornier 328 and Dornier Do 228-twin-engine machines designed for short-distance regional service. These aircraft are well-suited to unprepared or limited airfield infrastructure, making them ideal for servicing smaller island communities and maintaining frequency on routes with lower passenger volumes.
