Airport contact
Built on the WWII-era West Field, used for conventional B-29 bombing raids on Japan; the atomic-bomb missions instead flew from North Field — a separate, now-preserved historic airstrip elsewhere on Tinian — from which both the Enola Gay (Hiroshima) and Bockscar (Nagasaki) departed, not West Field/today's TIQ. TIQ (officially Francisco Manglona Borja/Tinian International Airport) is Star Marianas Air's home base, with its corporate offices and Hangar One on the field, running a short island-hopper shuttle to/from Saipan (SPN) on small piston/turboprop aircraft seating up to 9 passengers, plus limited cargo service via Micronesian Air Cargo Services; no jet or scheduled international service. CBP Port of Entry 3212 is staffed as needed, coordinated through Saipan CBP (670-288-0028); CPA's Saipan office (+1 670-237-6500) handles airport-system-wide matters. Annual pax figure is FAA CY2024 enplanements (30,538) doubled to a total-passenger estimate per convention.
