Northwest Resumes Nonstop Narita-Saipan Daily Service
Wednesday: July 02, 2008
(Saipan Tribune)
Saipan has scheduled nonstop air service to Narita, Japan, for the first time in nearly three years, the Saipan Tribune reports.
Northwest Airlines, the only carrier with scheduled air service between the Northern Mariana Islands and Japan, is flying a daily round-trip flight between Saipan and Narita, the main international airport outside of Tokyo.
The new service, says the newspaper, is expected to bring as many as 74,000 Japanese to Saipan over a year. The possible economic impact for Saipan could be as high as $80 million a year.
Japan is the Northern Marianas' largest visitor market, and it has been quickly contracting ever since Japan Air Lines withdrew service in 2005. The new Northwest flight departs Narita at 10:45 p.m. and arrives on Saipan at 1:25 a.m. The return flight leaves at 5 a.m. and reaches Narita at 7:40 a.m. The flying time between Narita and Saipan about three hours.
