Interpark's flight ticket sales hit a record high of 147.5 billion KRW in January this year, and continued to rise with 152.4 billion KRW in February, 161.3 billion KRW in March, 173.1 billion KRW in April, and 171.4 billion KRW in May.

During the golden holiday period in May, based on the number of international flight ticket issuances, Japan ranked first with 34% popularity. It was followed by Vietnam (15%), the Philippines (9%), Thailand (8%), and the United States (4%).

Interpark analyzed that the flight ticket business grew rapidly as overseas travel demand, which had been suppressed due to COVID-19, increased. They also evaluated that offering various special discount flight tickets based on partnerships with over 100 airlines worldwide had a positive impact.

Park Jeong-hyun, Head of Interpark's Aviation Business Division, said, "With the first summer peak season after the endemic (periodic outbreak of infectious diseases), overseas travel demand is expected to expand further," adding, "We will enhance the flight ticket reservation and issuance services, the first step of overseas travel, so that customers can enjoy a differentiated experience."
