[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] Air Busan launched a new Incheon?Narita route on the 25th.

The flight departs at 10:00 AM and arrives at Tokyo Narita International Airport in Japan at 12:20 PM. The return flight leaves Narita at 2:10 PM and arrives at Incheon Airport at 5:00 PM. It operates once a week using an A321LR aircraft with 220 seats. From late June, the frequency will increase to twice a week (Wednesdays and Saturdays).

On this day, flight BX164 carried 137 passengers. Due to entry restrictions to Japan, only 140 of the 220 seats were available for sale, resulting in a nearly full load factor. The airline stated, "Despite being a new route, this reflects the high recognition and trust Air Busan has built over time."

Starting with the Incheon?Narita route, Air Busan plans to actively expand its network of flights departing from Incheon. Following the launch of the Incheon?Osaka route on the 27th, the airline will sequentially open routes to Nha Trang, Vietnam; Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia; Da Nang, Vietnam; and Fukuoka, Japan, operating six routes by the end of July. The strategy is to focus on popular travel destinations to meet the growing travel demand.
