The Faleolo International Airport is raising its standards as preparations for the upcoming S.I.D.S conference moves to another level.
Yesterday, the Airport unveiled a new VIP building and its stateof- the-art ticketing system, giving the main entry point into Samoa a very modern look.
Prime Minister, Tuilaepa Sa’ilele Malielegaoi, was the keynote speaker.
Also present were Ministers of Cabinet, the Speaker of the House, Associate Ministers, Members of Parliament as well as the business community.

Tuilaepa said both projects were part of the government’s preparations for S.I.D.S, pointing out that the old VIP area was very small.
The VIP project cost $535,000.
The new $228,000 VIP building comes with two special rooms for guests to use while waiting for their flights.
The old VIP area will also be renovated at the cost of $260,000.
“All Electrical Construction Company won the bid after an auction that was held by the government to build these buildings,” he said.
“Renovation of the old VIP will start as we use the new place straight away.”
“Another important event today is the official opening of the new Ticketing System."
“The reason for this is to improve the service in collecting money from the car park.”
The project was tendered and after the tenders were received, Seyleck Global won the auction with a price tag of $642,000.
The project took six months to complete.
