‘Rota flight seat problems solved in May’

Posted on Apr 19 2005

The Rota legislative delegation said that any shortage of flight seats to and from Rota will be solved by early next month when Cape Air finally begins to use a bigger aircraft twice daily.

Delegation chair Sen. Diego M. Songao said yesterday that Cape Air has confirmed that it would use its 46-seater plane beginning May 5.

“Once we have that in place, the seating capacity going to Rota won’t be any problem, plus they also have their Cessna, a nine-seater, that can be chartered at any time, according to Cape Air,” said Songao.

Right now, the airline is using a nine-seater plane twice daily from Saipan via Guam: one in the morning and another one in late afternoon.

Freedom Air also provides twice-a-day flights to Rota from Saipan.

“So as far as transportation is concerned, I feel that we won’t be having any problems,” said the senator.
