Pago Pago International Airport (PPG)

Getting Around

How to get to and from Pago Pago International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.

Transport Options at PPG

Pago Pago International Airport is connected to Pago Pago and the wider American Samoa transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Bus & Shuttle

Local buses run regularly to and from Fagatogo, the main town, from early morning to 6pm, with no service on Sundays; fares range from about 50 cents to just over $1 depending on distance.

Taxi

Taxis are reportedly available around the clock; no reliable USD fare figure was found — some transfer-comparison sites quote EUR prices, which look templated/unreliable for a US-dollar territory and were not used.

Car Rental

No specific rental-car companies with airport desks were independently confirmed in this research pass.

Insider tip

There is no Sunday bus service — plan around that if relying on public transport, since taxis become the only option that day.

Transport routes, fares and operators change frequently. Verify current options on the official Pago Pago International Airport website before travel.
