Hawaiian Airlines is in negotiations with Polynesian Blue to launch a joint service between Apia and Honolulu.
Polynesian Blue is the merger between Samoa's state-owned Polynesian Airlines and Australia's low cost carrier Virgin Blue.
Hawaiian's Vice-President of Public Affairs, Keoni Wagner, confirmed that talks are being held but that no commitments have been made.
At present, Polynesian has a weekly flight between Apia and Honolulu.
