[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongwook Park] On the 31st, Pohang City in Gyeongbuk held a launch ceremony for the Gimpo-Jeju route at Pohang Airport, which has been out of service since February due to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). The event was attended by Mayor Kang-deok Lee, City Council Chairman Hae-jong Jeong, and National Assembly member Byung-wook Kim (Pohang Nam·Ulleung).

The Jin Air aircraft launched this time is a B737-800 (189 seats), with fares ranging from 20,000 to 90,000 KRW depending on the reservation date and seat class.

Mayor Lee visited Jeju Island on the first passenger flight of the launch day and held a meeting with Jeju Governor Hee-ryong Won to discuss measures to expand and revitalize airport usage. In addition, they exchanged opinions on win-win cooperation plans including ▲ cooperation in eco-friendly energy such as secondary battery industry ▲ mutual exchange and cooperation in marine and cultural tourism industries ▲ activation of cruise tourism ▲ revitalization of various private sector exchanges.

Mayor Lee expressed great expectations, saying, "Through this Jin Air launch, air transportation for local residents will be dramatically improved, and a daily living zone era from Pohang to Jeju Island and the metropolitan area will open, enabling us to attract more tourists to the Gyeongbuk East Coast area."
