Increased Air Competition in the Pacific: Lower Flight Costs for Guam and CNMI.
This law aims to reduce the extremely high cost of air travel for residents of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands caused by limited competition. It allows specific foreign airlines (from Japan, the Philippines, and South Korea) to pick up or drop off passengers and cargo in Guam and CNMI during their international flights. This increase in available carriers is expected to lead to lower prices and more flight options for citizens.
Key points
Allows airlines from Japan, the Philippines, and South Korea to make regular stopovers in Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands during international journeys.
Expected outcome is lower airfare prices and increased flight availability for Pacific island residents, improving travel options.
