The previous record for Interpark's airline ticket sales was 147.5 billion KRW, recorded in January. Looking at the number of international ticket issuances by route, Japan accounted for the highest share at 35%. This was followed by Vietnam at 13%, the Philippines at 7%, Thailand at 6%, and Guam (U.S. territory) at 5%.


An Interpark representative stated, "March is typically the off-season for travel after the winter vacation period, but it seems that the suppressed demand for overseas travel continues to increase, and by competitively offering tickets on popular routes, sales have grown."



Interpark partners with over 100 airlines worldwide, including Korean Air, Asiana Airlines, Jeju Air, T'way Air, and Jin Air, to offer various special airfare deals. Every Wednesday from 10 a.m., they provide 'Time Deal Specials' featuring selected popular international routes such as Japan, Southeast Asia, Sydney, and Guam.
