We are monitoring the market closely to support efforts locally and can scale quickly to meet demand from Japan once restrictions are eased.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also noted, \u201cA positive new development is the recent opening of the arrivals corridor at the A.B. Won Pat International Airport, Guam. The airport has done a great job of improving overall safety while enhancing how travelers navigate and enjoy the airport. Our arriving customers will enjoy the new Guam airport experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additional Saipan flight<\/p>\n

United recently added a weekly flight between Guam and Saipan on Friday mornings, increasing the number of flights between the islands to four flights weekly. Every Friday, Flight UA 174 aboard a Boeing 737-800 will depart Guam at 4:50am and arrive in Saipan at 5:31am. The return flight, UA 117, will depart Saipan at 6:30am and will arrive in Guam at 7:10am, which conveniently connects to United\u2019s Honolulu service.

Shinohara said, \u201cAs we continue to work hard to meet our customers\u2019 demand, we are pleased to add capacity between Guam and Saipan. The additional flight will offer better convenience for residents traveling for personal or business between the two islands. It also offers an additional opportunity to transport essential cargo, such as COVID vaccines, medical supplies, and mail into Saipan. It\u2019s another step closer to normalcy that we all welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n
