Samoa Airways
Samoa Airways is the scheduled carrier serving Fitiuta (FTI) with 19-seat DHC-6 Twin Otter air-taxi flights to/from Pago Pago (PPG). No third-party ground handler exists at this remote Ta'u Island field, so the airline self-handles its own turns. Confirmed by Wikipedia; self-handling is inferred from the absence of any listed handler and is not independently confirmed.
