Pago Pago International (icao: NSTU; iata: PPG) is the primary airport for the United States territory of American Samoa. Located in the United States' southernmost Pacifc Island territory, Pago Pago has a rich aviation history as a key refueling location for trans-Pacific commercial flights during the pre-ETOPS era of aircraft, and in support of US military and Antarctic programmes.
Its main runway - 05/23 - is capable of servicing large jets. An additional shorter runway - 08/26 - is only available to light aircraft and is typically used only as a taxiway to access the northern end of the main runway.
The main terminal is to the southwest of the two runways, containing a limited number of adjacent stands. In the event of large traffic flows, pilot may be required to board/deboard their aircraft at remote stands or on the grass areas adjacent to the taxiways.

Limited Parking Available
Pago Pago has a limited number of gates available.
Gates will be allocated on an as-available basis. If the airport is particularly busy, you may be asked to board/deboard your aircraft in an overflow parking area - eg: on an unused apron area, or on a grass area adjoining the apron. This doesn't always reflect real-world operations, but may be necessary to handle the much-larger-than-real-world traffic flows at some event airports.
If you intend to remain at the airport for an extended period after arriving - for example, to observe the other aircraft - please advise the controller of your intentions and request taxi to a grass area to allow other pilots use of the gates.
*** Make sure your sim is set to ignore collisions with other aircraft. ***
