Samoa Air continues to look for investor groups and other air carriers in a bid to strengthen the Pago Pago-based carrier while its only aircraft undergoes servicing.
The current maintenance of the Twin Otter aircraft is mandatory under US Federal Aviation Administration.
The Samoa Observer reported that representatives of an American-based carrier, Share Jet, were negotiating in Samoa to lease a plane.
Samoa Air's Chief executive officer, Andre Lavinge, says the airline is exploring other relationships, but there is nothing finalised yet.
