Continental to end Manila flights July 16
HAGATNA, Guam – Citing higher fuel costs and lower demand, Continental Micronesia has announced that flights between Saipan, the US Commonwealth of Northern Marianas, and Manila will end July 16.
Continental Micronesia has also cut flights linking Guam with Hong Kong and Bali.
Nonstop flights between this US territory and Hong Kong will be suspended July 28, while Guam-Bali nonstop flights will end Oct. 2, the company said.
“While these are very difficult decisions to make, the record fuel costs, combined with lower customer demand in these markets, lead to the decision to suspend service,” Continental Micronesia CEO and president Mark Erwin said.
Customers booked on cancelled and suspended flights will be contacted by the airline to arrange alternate flights or ticket refunds, the company said.
Continental Micronesia will continue to offer daily service between Saipan and Manila through Guam, it said. – AP
