Virgin Samoa coming to an end?

Looks like Virgin Samoa days could be numbered, Polynesian Airlines has just announced they will re-start APW-AKL services with A320s.

We're does this leave the agreement with VA? surely they wouldn't run another airline against aother state owned airline?

do they need Virgin Samoa? They only have 1 plane. Couldnt VAi just do normal services to APW?

Officially they don't have an plane at all, it was just one of the VANZ fleet that was painted up with Virgin Samoa on it.

They would just send any random VANZ 738 on the APW Service.
