- Following severe damage from Super Typhoon Sinlaku, limited flights between Guam and Saipan are continuing—but conditions at the airport remain far from normal.
Commonwealth Ports Authority officials say the airport is operating without full water service, facing electrical and navigational challenges, and dealing with extensive structural damage. All jetways are currently out of service, with crews relying on a single set of stairs to load and unload passengers.
Rescue flights from Hong Kong and Korea helped evacuate stranded tourists, and most visitors have now departed the island. United Airlines, however, is expected to continue daily Guam–Saipan service as recovery efforts move forward.
Officials say modified procedures are in place to ensure flights can operate safely while repairs continue.

- Super Typhoon Sinlaku has left a path of widespread destruction across Saipan and Tinian, after battering the Marianas with more than 30 hours of sustained winds over 100 miles per hour.
This footage shows the devastating aftermath—downed power poles, destroyed homes, boats piled on top of each other, and entire neighborhoods left unrecognizable. Power is out island-wide, with restoration expected to take weeks, and the airport remains closed as crews begin damage assessments.
Residents are just beginning to step outside and take in the scale of the damage, while strong winds and heavy rain continue to impact the islands. In some areas, even animals have been displaced, with dogs seen searching for food through the debris.
Officials say it may take days—or even weeks—to fully understand the extent of the destruction.
Sinlaku may go down as one of the most devastating storms in CNMI history.
