Star Marianas Air, the sole interisland airline that connects Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, will be increasing its airfare starting Aug. 1, 2023.<\/p>\n

According to a news release yesterday announcing the impending price adjustments, this move is in response to the significant surge in inflation rates affecting the global economy, including the airline sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cRising costs of fuel, labor, spare parts, shipping, and operational expenses have necessitated this adjustment to ensure the sustainability of operations and maintain the reliability of service,\u201d the airline\u2019s news release stated. \u201cUnderstanding the potential challenges that price changes may pose for customers, Star Marianas Air greatly appreciates their understanding and continued support during these prevailing economic conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The airfare increases will vary based on specific routes, according to Star Marianas. It says it remains committed to transparency and passengers are encouraged to visit the company\u2019s website (https:\/\/www.starmarianasair.com) and Facebook page (https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/StarMarianasAir\/) for up-to-date and accurate fare information.<\/p>\n
