It is in the electoral constituency of Vaimauga East (''faipule district'') which forms part of the larger political district of Tuamasaga. The population of Fagali'i is 1,571 (2006 Census).〔 〕 Fagali'i International Airport and the Royal Samoa Golf Course are both located nearby in Fagali'i Uta. ==Airport== Fagali'i Airport is owned and operated by Polynesian Airlines. Fagali'i airstrip - at one time a grass-only airstrip, was reopened on the 6th of July 2002 after the airstrip was re-sealed,〔''Polynesian Whispers 2002''〕 only to be de-commissioned in Jan 2005 due to Government and village concerns, allegedly due to safety and noise. On 1 July 2009, Polynesian Airlines reopened Fagali'i airport and resumed a service that included international flights to Pago Pago, American Samoa. The proposal to re-open the airport was controversial and attracted criticism both for the safety and environmental issues with the airport's configuration and for the potential burden on local communities should the scheme fail.〔(Samoa Observer ) 23 November 2008〕 Airlines that have operated from the airport include: * Polynesian Airlines * Samoa Air 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fagali'i」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
