## Description

A single 8,700-foot runway able to take wide-body jets sets Saipan International (SPN), officially Francisco C. Ada, apart from its small neighbours. The main gateway to the Northern Mariana Islands lives on tourism from Korea, Japan and China, with United linking Guam and Tokyo-Narita and carriers such as Jeju Air and T'way serving Seoul. Freight rides mainly in the belly of these flights, supplemented by the Guam-based all-cargo Asia Pacific Airlines (Boeing 757F) and the inter-island parcel runs of Micronesian Air Cargo Services (MACS) to Tinian, Rota and Guam. US Customs and Border Protection clears traffic and the islands use the US dollar. For international volumes, Guam (GUM) — with the Asia-Pacific networks of UPS and FedEx — remains the real cargo hub. Saipan thus offers a genuine but modest freight role behind its tourism core.
