[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] Air Premia announced on the 1st that it has appointed Yoo Myung-seop, former head of Jeju Air, who has worked in the aviation industry for 32 years, as its new CEO.

The newly appointed CEO Yoo graduated from Korea University with a degree in Sociology and earned a master's degree from the Graduate School of Aviation Management at Korea Aerospace University. He joined Korean Air in 1990, serving as branch manager in Germany and Eastern Europe, sales planning team leader, and executive in charge of marketing in the Korea region.
