The Russian airline Vladivostok Avia has responded to a growing demand from travelers in eastern Russia who want to go to Saipan, Tinian, and Rota by setting up charter flights to Saipan beginning this month.
Vladivostok Avia, also called Vlad Avia, has set up three trial flights to see if there is sufficient demand to operate regularly scheduled flights from Vladivostok direct to Saipan.
The first of these charters, scheduled for December 28, 2008, is already fully booked.
Flights will bring tourists from Khabarovsk to Vladivostok where they will add more passengers and then fly directly to Saipan International Airport.
