Marianas Southern Airways has announced that it will commence operations on Friday, Aug. 12, and has opened its website, iflymarianas.com, for ticket sales.
“Marianas Southern Airways will launch operations with Saipan-Tinian flights, and will add Saipan-Rota flights on Monday, Aug. 15. Saipan-Guam flights will commence on Friday, Aug. 19,” said the airline’s president, Keith Stewart.
The airline will start operations with three new Tecnam P2012 twin-engine air-conditioned aircraft and will add additional aircraft in the coming months.
“As we increase our fleet we will increase the frequency of our services to Tinian, Rota and Guam, including the addition of Rota-Guam and Tinian-Guam flights based upon demand,” said Stewart.
“Marianas Southern Airways has opened its website for ticket sales and is delighted to offer low introductory fares across all of our routes,” said vice president, CNMI/Guam, Bill Giles. “We are proud to have offered employment to over 20 people within the Northern Mariana Islands and look forward to contributing to the NMI’s economic growth” added Giles.
The airline is putting the finishing touches to its terminal and counter space at each destination ahead of its launch and already has its technical back up and support aircraft, a turbine powered Cessna Caravan, positioned on Saipan.
Marianas Southern Airways is a joint venture between Saipan’s MP Enterprises and Southern Airways Express, one of America’s largest regional airlines. (PR)
