Cape Air flights to the CNMI were cancelled yesterday, with United Airlines fielding a jet plane to accommodate passengers.
According to flightstats.com, flights scheduled to the Saipan International Airport at 3:35am, 7:30am, and 8:05am were cancelled yesterday.
When asked for details, United Corporate Communications released the following statement:
“In response to the cancellations of all of Cape Air flights on Feb. 25, United has decided to operate extra flights using a Boeing 737-800 aircraft to accommodate the affected passengers in Guam and Saipan. UA2107 is scheduled to depart Guam on Feb. 25 at 8pm and is expected to arrive on Saipan at 8:40pm. UA2108 is scheduled to depart Saipan on Feb. 25 at 9:30pm and is scheduled to arrive on Guam at 10:10pm. We regret any inconvenience experienced by our customers.”
Saipan Tribune last reported two days of cancelled flights last month. United did not say if this week’s flight cancellations would continue into tomorrow.
A reason for flight cancellation of all Cape Air flights was not given.
Swaths of flights were cancelled during the middle months of last year largely due to technical issues. United flew accommodating flights during this time as well.
