AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoTourism: After Hong Kong Airlines canceled Saipan flights through December following the suspension of visa-free Chinese travel, the Marianas Visitors Authority and economic advisers are urging alternative routes and stronger local support. Officials warn the CNMI could lose more airline service; Chinese travelers reportedly make up 30% to 40% of Jeju Air’s Saipan passengers. Utilities: Gov. David Apatang signed a law allowing CUC to borrow up to $40 million for typhoon recovery and fuel, while saying the government can afford only 53-hour pay periods. Power Costs: With CUC’s rate increase request under review and a major solar project approved, ratepayers still lack a clear picture of their future bills. Precinct 3 candidate Del Benson says projected solar savings and the full cost of electricity remain uncertain.
