“Today we take the national airline of Samoa into the future,” CEO of Virgin Samoa Mark Pitt said.
“The new livery will increase the airline’s visibility in the eyes of local Samoans and those living abroad as Samoa’s national flag carrier. Since announcing the new name in December last year, the response from the Samoan people has been overwhelmingly positive.”
A traditional welcome for ZK-PBF.
Virgin Samoa is a joint venture between Virgin Australia and the Government of Samoa.
