The Lotte Giants and Korean Air have continued their support for low-income students in the Busan region with airline tickets for 11 consecutive years. The number of tickets donated to date has far exceeded 1,000.

Lotte announced that it held a "Love Air Ticket" donation ceremony on the 30th, together with Korean Air, for low-income students in the Busan region.

This year's support includes 83 domestic airline tickets worth a total of 22 million won. Yoo Jong-wook, branch manager of Korean Air's Busan Passenger Branch, and Lotte pitcher Park Jeong-min attended the ceremony to participate in sharing with the students.

The "Love Air Ticket" program is a social contribution initiative designed to provide opportunities for domestic travel and cultural experiences to students who have difficulty experiencing diverse cultural activities due to financial hardships.

Since launching the program in 2016, Lotte and Korean Air have continued their support for 11 years through this year. The cumulative number of domestic airline tickets donated, including the 83rd tickets this year, reaches 1,098.

As a long-running program, cooperation between the team and the sponsor has been consistent. In 2019, ahead of a home game against the KIA Tigers at Sajik Baseball Stadium, airline tickets were donated to the Busan Office of Education. At that time, 131 domestic round-trip airline tickets were prepared by adding up Lotte's number of home game wins and home runs from the previous year.

Park Jeong-min, who attended this year's ceremony, said, "I hope these airline tickets become a precious opportunity to meet new places and gain diverse experiences," adding, "I sincerely support the children as they head toward a broader world."

In addition to airline ticket support, Lotte is carrying out various social contribution activities targeting students in the Busan region and vulnerable groups. In May this year, the team signed an agreement for regional mutual benefit with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power's Gori Nuclear Power Headquarters and continued support for local youth baseball teams, vulnerable groups, and students from multicultural families.

In September last month, young adults preparing for independence in the Busan region were invited to Sajik Baseball Stadium, where they were provided opportunities to experience tee-ball and watch a professional baseball game. On the 19th, plans to hold the 3rd Dream Cafe to support the independence of people with developmental disabilities were also announced. This is a program where players directly serve as one-day baristas to meet fans.

Lotte plans to continue supporting cultural experiences for students in the Busan region and assistance activities for vulnerable groups through cooperation with partners, including Korean Air, going forward.
