Asiana to close Saipan office

In a letter emailed to community members, Hwang Intak, regional manager of Asiana’s regional sales office on Saipan, said:

“After three decades of service in the CNMI, our last operation will be on June 30, 2024. Following this date, we will no longer be serving the Incheon-Saipan route.”

South Korea is the CNMI’s only remaining major tourism market.

“Asiana Airlines has been the front runner in providing quality air travel to Saipan residents and promoting Korean tourism in the CNMI since May 1992,” Hwang Intak said.

“We are proud of all that we have accomplished together with our island partners and would like to thank you all for your loyalty and support in the last 32 years.

“Please be assured that we will maintain and deliver the high standard of professionalism and service that has set Asiana Airlines apart from competitors until our final flight from Saipan.

“We once again appreciate your long-standing cooperation and wish you all the best moving forward.”
