Cape Air will launch today its maiden flight between Saipan and Guam as scheduled, according to Ports Authority executive director Carlos Salas.<\/p>\n
Last month, the new airline kicked off its maiden flight between Guam and Rota.<\/p>\n
Salas has said that Cape Air, through its Continental Connection, would be using ATR42 airliners, which can accommodate 46 passengers. <\/p>\n
Based on its plan, Cape Air would fly five times daily starting at 7:15am from Guam to Saipan followed by 8:15am, 11:50am, 1:20pm, and 6pm flights. <\/p>\n
Flights from Saipan International Airport begin at 10:15am followed by 10am, 2pm, 3pm, and 7:45pm. <\/p>\n
Guam-Saipan flights normally take 50 minutes. <\/p>\n
Three flights daily are scheduled between Guam and Rota.<\/p>\n
For the Saipan-Rota route, Cape Air would have twice-a-day flights for the whole week beginning at 9:15am and followed by 2pm from the Saipan International Airport. <\/p>\n
The new Guam-Rota flights are at 8:15am, 1:30pm, and 6pm, while the Rota-Guam flights would be at 10am, 2:50pm, and 7:10pm. Flying time is approximately 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
Cape Air officials had said the firm would base three 46-passenger turbo-propeller-powered ATR-42 aircraft on Guam for its Pacific venture. <\/p>\n
The planes have reportedly been leased from Continental Airlines.<\/p>\n
Continental is a Cape Air \u201ccode share\u201d partner, meaning that customers can connect from Continental flights directly to Cape Air planes with a single reservation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
