Why do many private jet flights to American Samoa route through Hawaii or New Zealand?

American Samoa sits deep in the South Pacific, far from major continental aviation hubs. For this reason, private jet charter flights to Pago Pago often route through Honolulu, Auckland or Nadi, depending on aircraft range and passenger itinerary. These Pacific hubs allow aircraft to refuel and position efficiently before continuing to American Samoa.
