Jeju Air, which operates the largest number of routes to China among domestic low-cost carriers (LCCs), will further strengthen its competitiveness on Chinese routes through additional traffic rights and increased flights on key routes.
Since first launching regular service on the Incheon-Qingdao route in 2012, Jeju Air has steadily expanded its network to China, connecting the air bridge between Korea and China. As of August this year, cumulative passenger numbers on Chinese routes reached approximately 5.28 million, marking the highest volume among domestic LCCs. The airline currently operates 14 routes (including irregular services), such as Busan-Shanghai, while continuing to expand its network in China.
Based on the traffic rights secured this year, Jeju Air is pushing for an expansion of its Chinese routes while also increasing supply on existing routes during the winter schedule period.
Starting October 25, when the winter schedule begins, the Busan-Shanghai route will see three additional flights (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday) added to the existing four weekly services (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday), bringing the total to seven flights per week through December 15. This change will enable daily service, intensifying the airline's focus on the route.
A Jeju Air official, speaking by phone with this outlet, said, "As we currently operate the most routes to China among domestic LCCs, we plan to further strengthen our competitiveness on Chinese routes."
