Low-cost Korea airline to launch flights for Saipan

A low-cost Korean airline will start offering daily flights to and from Korea before Christmas of 2016. Korean airline T’way Air would be offering regular daily flights from the Incheon International Airport to the Francisco C. Ada/Saipan International Airport starting Dec. 24, 2016. The popular low-cost carrier will help improve arrival numbers from South Korea. “We are very excited about the launch of new service between the CNMI and Seoul-Incheon with the inaugural flight of T’way Airlines on Dec. 24. It’s a timely Christmas gift for the CNMI as we welcome our fifth regular scheduled airline from Korea,” said Marianas Visitors Authority MD Chris Concepcion. “With their daily flights to Saipan we expect arrival numbers [of Korean tourists] to continue to increase. The MVA is working closely with T’way to promote the Marianas as a premier destination for the Korean traveler,” he added.<br/>
