As Polynesian Airlines, the Samoan carrier used to fly from Fagalii to Maota airports as well as Asau but the service was discontinued in the late 1990's.
At one time, there were also direct flights from American Samoa to Savai'i.
According to a press statement, the new flights aim to develop the tourism market on Savai'i.
Samoa Airways chief executive, Tupuivao Seiuli Alvin Tuala, said that it was a good time to make new routes and offer more options to their customers.
