Dynamic Airlines went on a \u201cbreak\u201d and may not be coming back to operate chartered flights from Hong Kong to Saipan anytime soon.<\/p>\n
The airline\u2019s local representative, Dennis Tse, told Saipan Tribune that they are currently not operating since Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Commonwealth Ports Authority executive director Maryann Lizama confirmed the airline\u2019s move to temporarily stop operation and said that Dynamic Airlines gave \u201cproper notification.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been informed of the suspension of their charter flights between Saipan and Hong Kong until further notice,\u201d Lizama said.<\/p>\n
Lizama said the airline notified them on Nov. 5.<\/p>\n
Tse did not disclose specific reasons but said that the move was planned months ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a company decision,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Dynamic Airways also left Saipan for about 11 months before coming back last July for the HK-Saipan route.<\/p>\n
Tse said the airline will be scheduling flights again in January next year, but they will be from different destinations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis time we may not be bringing in any passengers from Hong Kong. When we come back, we will be bringing passengers from China,\u201d Tse said, adding that they will be flying in from several cities.<\/p>\n
Prior to the break, the airline operated two aircrafts servicing a weekly flight from Hong Kong and once every two weeks from China. They bring in about 200 passengers every flight.<\/p>\n
Tse said there will still be two aircraft dedicated to Saipan when they start operating again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
