New Samoan airline already aiming to spread its wings

The founder of a new airline plans to start crossing the ditch between Samoa and American Samoa this week.

Talofa Airways will initially fly six times a day, going head to head with Polynesian Airlines, the only other carrier currently servicing the route.

But Talofa owner and Chief Executive Jeffrey Hunter is already looking to spread his wings further.. with flights to Tonga and Niue on the horizons.
