Jeju Air plans to expand its China routes during the upcoming winter travel season, the Korean low-cost carrier announced on Tuesday. The airline has secured rights to launch additional services from Incheon to Beijing and Changsha.
According to Jeju Air, it was granted traffic rights in September for weekly flights to Beijing and Changsha. In April, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport awarded the airline rights on five other routes, including Busan-Guilin, Busan-Shanghai, Daegu-Shanghai, Jeju-Chengdu, and Jeju-Chongqing. With these allocations, Jeju Air can now serve 13 Chinese cities, making it the Korean low-cost carrier with the most China destinations.
Currently, Jeju Air operates 14 China routes, including nonscheduled services. Changsha, the capital of Hunan province, serves as a gateway to Zhangjiajie, a mountain area renowned for its sandstone pillars. However, the airline did not disclose the start date for the Beijing and Changsha flights from Incheon.
Under Jeju Air's winter schedule, which commences on October 25, the number of Busan-Shanghai flights will increase from four per week.
