Star Marianas Air, Inc. is a U.S. commuter airline headquartered at Tinian International Airport in Tinian Municipality, Northern Mariana Islands.[2] It operates scheduled and charter passenger service in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam, both U.S. territories in the Pacific Ocean.

Star Marianas Air has been the only airline linking Guam and the smaller Northern Mariana Islands, and is vital for the Commonwealth's transportation needs. Congressman Gregorio Sablan has pushed for assistance from the Essential Air Service on these routes.[3]

The airline flies small planes between Guam, Saipan, Tinian, and Rota, and was noted on CNN for its short ten minute flights that link the islands together.[4]
