Flights to Pago Pago
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Pago Pago is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Pago Pago International Airport (PPG), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, whose 10,000-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pago Pago International Airport | PPG | 6 km (4 mi) | 10,000 ft | 32 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,000 ft, PPG can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 32 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
