The morning service will depart Rota at 8:20am and arrive in Guam at 8:55am. The return flight leaves Guam at 9:25am and arrives at Rota at 10am, according to Stewart. \u201cWith the afternoon service departing Guam at 3:30pm and returning from Rota at 4:25pm, this schedule will enable same-day travel to Guam and Rota, which has been a request of the business community for some time,\u201d Stewart said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe introduction of this additional aircraft has also allowed Marianas Southern Airways to schedule a weekday evening flight from Guam to Saipan to provide a same-day Saipan arrival for passengers traveling from Honolulu,\u201d said Bill Giles, MSA\u2019s vice president, CNMI\/Guam. \u201cNo longer will passengers arriving from Honolulu have to stay overnight in Guam, providing savings on the cost of a hotel,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>The airline\u2019s revised schedule also sees an additional weekday Saipan to Guam flight at 7pm, providing greater flexibility for those people requiring longer business or leisure days on Saipan and Guam. These flights also commence on Feb. 13. <\/p>\n<p>Flight bookings can be made at https:\/\/iflymarianas.com\/ <em>(PR)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CNMI\u2019s newest airline, Marianas Southern Airways, has announced a new route linking Rota to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":385140,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-385138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385138","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=385138"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385138\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/385140"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=385138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=385138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=385138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
