Airport: No significant flight increases expected in May
There has been no significant change in the number of flights to Guam during the past month, according to airport management, which reported carriers are taking a “wait-and-see” approach as Guam considers easing travel quarantine restrictions in May.
“We’ve received some reports as it relates to additional routes being reimplemented, obviously from United and some of the Korean carriers, that they may start some flights in the month of June and July,” airport Deputy Executive Manager Ricky Hernandez said during Thursday’s board meeting for the Guam International Airport.
The month of May is not going to be “what we hoped it would be,” Hernandez said, “But the future months out are more promising.”
