Notably, this survey showed that LCC brand loyalty significantly increased compared to the overall airline industry average due to the recovery of travel psychology and the rise in air travel users. Jeju Air’s proactive route expansion strategy in preparation for the post-COVID-19 era, differentiated service planning such as sports and golf memberships, as well as various online and offline brand marketing activities like ‘Yeohaengmat’, ‘Janmang Loopy’, and ‘Airstage’ are interpreted to have played a major role in securing the number one spot in brand power.
