[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Air Busan has designated the Philippines' "Clark" as its first new destination in 2023 and will launch the Busan-Clark route starting January 5 next year.


The Busan-Clark flight schedule departs from Gimhae International Airport at 9:30 PM and arrives at Clarkfield Airport at 12:10 AM. The return flight departs from the local airport at 1:40 AM and arrives at Gimhae International Airport at 6:10 AM.


The route operates four times a week on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, with a flight time of approximately 3 hours and 40 minutes.


Clark is a Southeast Asian travel destination located about three hours north of the Philippine capital Manila, offering various themed travel experiences such as golf, open-air sulfur hot springs, and various marine sports to suit different tastes.


To commemorate the launch of the new Busan-Clark route, Air Busan is running a promotion offering special discount airfares and a 40,000 KRW discount coupon for the bundled service package.


The promotion period is from the 5th to the 11th, and the special airfare starts at a total of 149,900 KRW one-way per person.


The boarding period for the special airfare is from January 5 to March 24 next year, and customers who purchase the special airfare will receive a 40,000 KRW discount coupon for the bundle.

An Air Busan official said, "We decided on the Philippines' Clark as the first new destination next year, anticipating an increase in travelers planning warm Southeast Asian trips for winter," adding, "We recommend traveling to Clark this winter via Air Busan, where you can enjoy golf, relaxation, and various activities."


The Philippines currently allows entry regardless of vaccination status.
