Air Premia is expanding its Japan network for the winter season by adding the route from Incheon to Sapporo, according to a Monday announcement. This marks the airline's second destination in Japan after Narita, with flights scheduled to commence on December 2. The Incheon-Sapporo service will operate four times a week - on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays - using Boeing 787-9 aircraft.
Passengers will board in Incheon at 9:40 am and touch down in New Chitose Airport at 12:20 pm for their outbound journeys, while return flights will depart Sapporo at 1:45 pm, touching down in Incheon at 5:15 pm.
Sapporo, the largest city in Hokkaido and the regional hub, will serve as Air Premia's gateway to northern Japan. The airline's expansion aims to capitalize on demand for snow, winter festivals, and Hokkaido travel, offering passengers access to Sapporo's winter events and illuminations, as well as other destinations like Otaru and Biei. Tickets for the new route will go on sale at 10 a.m. Monday, available through Air Premia's website and mobile app.
