2 South Korean airlines to resume Saipan route next week

Two South Korean airlines that have suspended their Saipan route as a result of the surge in COVID-19 cases are expected to resume services next week.

During a Marianas Visitors Authority board meeting this week, managing director Priscilla Iakopo said that Jeju Air and T’Way Airlines, two low-budget carriers based in Incheon that provide daily scheduled flights under the current travel bubble agreement, will resume flights in the first week of February.

Earlier this month, T’way Air decided to suspend its two-flights-a-week schedule until Jan. 28. Jeju Air ceased its Busan–Saipan route since Jan. 12.

Come next week, both airlines will be providing Incheon-based flights. However, the CNMI will still see travelers from Busan, thanks to the current charter in place with Air Busan.
