Hawaiian Airlines has been serving the route between Honolulu, Hawaii, and Pago Pago, American Samoa, providing an important connection between the islands. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Hawaiian Airlines operated twice-weekly flights, but these were suspended in March 2020 at the request of the American Samoa government. The airline resumed service in late 2021, operating two flights per month with its Airbus A330 aircraft. Hawaiian Airlines has played a critical role in reconnecting families between Hawaii and American Samoa, especially during the pandemic, when it operated special repatriation flights to bring back residents who had been stranded abroad. Travelers between these locations must follow specific health protocols, such as providing proof of vaccination and undergoing quarantine upon arrival in American Samoa
