Jeju Air expands Saipan service

The announcement by CEO E-Bae Kim comes as Gov. Arnold Palacios and Marianas Visitors Authority officials are in Seoul this week to meet with travel and tourism executives.

 

“We are thankful to Jeju Air for expanding its service to Saipan to include the Busan to Saipan route,” Governor Palacios said in a press release. “We will continue to partner with Jeju Air and other airline partners to continue to grow and expand the Korea tourism market.”

 

The governor's office said the route will be evaluated to determine whether it will be sustained for a longer period. 

 

“The Northern Mariana Islands is one of the top destination markets for Koreans, and this additional route will help meet the growing demand,” said CEO Kim said in a government-issued press release. “We are looking at other ways we can increase seats and flight service to the CNMI and we thank Governor Palacios for his friendship and partnership.”
