The Atlanta-based carrier will also be pulling out from Palau.
Delta Air Lines says service to both Saipan and Koror will stop on 6 May.

The pullout comes a month after Delta Air Lines discontinued its service between Narita and Guam.
The Micronesian region has recently experienced a decrease in visitor arrivals from Japan as the Yen lost value.
