[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] How about reading poetry on the open sky path? Poems will be inscribed on Air Busan tickets.

Air Busan plans to comfort passengers weary from COVID-19 by featuring poems on boarding passes and its website.

Through a business agreement with the Korean Poets Association, Air Busan selects one poem each week from the association’s published poetry collection titled "Post-Corona" as the "Weekly Poem of Hope," which is then displayed on boarding passes and the website.

This offers customers the event "Traveling with Words of Hope."

So far, Air Busan has added warmth to journeys with poems such as "Social Distancing" by poet Kim Geum-yong, "Star 2" by poet Oh Se-young, and "Exploration" by poet Jo Seung-rae.

Works by numerous poets affiliated with the Korean Poets Association, including its president, poet Na Tae-joo, will also be featured. The event will run for one year.

An Air Busan official said, "We planned this service to provide comfort and hope to users through poetry during these tiring and difficult times," adding, "Though the verses are brief, we hope they will touch hearts."

The "Weekly Poem of Hope" printed at the bottom of domestic boarding passes includes excerpts from the full poems, which are available on the Air Busan website and mobile app.
