[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] As a representative regional airline, Air Busan has joined hands with Busan City to attract the 2030 Busan World Expo, the biggest issue for Busan.

On the 28th, Air Busan signed a business agreement for cooperation in attracting the 2030 World Expo Busan at the International Protocol Room on the 7th floor of Busan City Hall.

The signing ceremony was attended by Air Busan CEO Ahn Byung-seok and Busan City Deputy Mayor for Economy Lee Seong-gwon.

Through the agreement, Air Busan and Busan City agreed to mutually cooperate for ▲ domestic and international promotion of attracting the 2030 Busan World Expo ▲ forming a nationwide consensus for attracting the 2030 Busan World Expo.

Since April, Air Busan has been participating in promoting the Expo attraction through in-flight landing announcements on flights arriving in Busan.

They also participated in the closing video of the presentation Busan City conducted for competing candidate countries at the International Exhibitions Bureau Paris General Assembly in June.

From July, they have significantly expanded promotion of the 2030 Busan World Expo using in-flight booklets, brochures, and their official website, actively targeting tourists visiting Busan during the summer vacation season.

Air Busan plans to maximize promotion by wrapping the exterior of the A321neo aircraft with images of the 2030 Busan World Expo within this year.

CEO Ahn Byung-seok said, “If we promote the Busan Expo through Air Busan’s aircraft, in-flight booklets, announcements, and YouTube channel, we expect to take a step closer to winning the bid.”

Deputy Mayor for Economy Lee Seong-gwon said, “Since the selection of the 2030 Expo host city is scheduled for the second half of next year, this is the golden time for success in attracting it. We will make every effort with the government and companies to ensure the Expo is held in Busan in 2030.”
