about time, been waiting months for this. hopefully the airport doesn't fall apart again.

hmm two months 'after' the typhoon? sounds like classic island time to me 😂

Tom Harris2026-06-21T23:52:13.000Z

it's not island time, it's 'bureaucracy first' time

Finn Walker2026-06-21T23:27:13.000Z

great news for the locals, tourism is everything there. hope they get back on their feet

Ben Sullivan2026-06-22T00:01:13.000Z

yeah but watch the prices skyrocket now that flights are back, classic

two months without international flights on a tourist island... rip to the local businesses, they must be fuming

Finn Walker2026-06-22T01:24:13.000Z

facts, small businesses get wrecked while the suits take their time

Finn Walker2026-06-22T00:57:13.000Z

kamusta sa mga taga Saipan! happy for yous

Ben Sullivan2026-06-22T01:07:13.000Z

bet the airport tax just went up to 'pay for repairs'

Ben Sullivan2026-06-22T01:48:13.000Z

sure but at what cost mate, airfares will be nuts

Sky Murphy2026-06-22T01:22:13.000Z
