[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Air Premia announced on the 11th that it will continue its international flight operations this month to Bangkok, Thailand, following its launches in Singapore last December and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, last January.

Air Premia operates belly cargo flights twice weekly to Singapore and 2-3 times weekly to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. On the 6th, it began operating cargo charter flights to Bangkok, Thailand. The main cargo item is mangoes, with a round-trip volume of 50 tons on the first flight. The Bangkok route is scheduled to operate twice weekly starting in March.

An Air Premia official stated, “We recorded about 300 tons of cargo in January and 270 tons in February, and we expect to transport approximately 900 tons in March, continuing strong performance in the cargo market. While the passenger market remains limited, we are actively utilizing the ample belly cargo capacity of our medium-sized aircraft.”

In addition, Air Premia is steadily preparing to target the passenger market. The non-landing sightseeing flights that began last December are planned to continue on the 26th of this month.
