HAGATNA, Guam - Continental Micronesia has cut flights linking Guam with Hong Kong and Bali, citing higher fuel costs and lower demand.

Nonstop flights between this U.S. territory and Hong Kong will be suspended July 28, while Guam-Bali nonstop flights will end Oct. 2, the company said. Flights between Saipan, the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Manila, Philippines, will also end July 16.
"While these are very difficult decisions to make, the record fuel costs, combined with lower customer demand in these markets, lead to the decision to suspend service," Continental Micronesia CEO and President Mark Erwin said.
Customers booked on canceled and suspended flights will be contacted by the airline to arrange alternate flights or ticket refunds, the company said.
Continental Micronesia will continue to offer daily service between Saipan and Manila through Guam, it said.
Despite my efforts to spread the word about Micronesia, nobody wants to go there. This, coupled with gas prices going through the roof results in less flights to Micronesia, and only through a more limited number of airports.
In response, I am beginning my Campaign to save Micronesia from Partial Isolation. I have received a sponsorship by Razer to save Micronesia. I have agreed to accept Starcraft challenges. For every player that defeats me in one versus one, Razer will donate $1000 to the airlines suspending transit to Micronesia. All games will be streamed and commentated by known foreigners. At the end, the VODs will be compiled into one collector's dvd box set and sold at exorbitant prices with all proceeds going directly to the airlines. We have determined that we need to raise $100,000 by the end of June 2008 in order to prevent this Micronesian catastrophe.
