'New Route Launch' Air Busan Bohol Route Achieves 99% Load Factor

First Flight Nearly Full
Sapporo Route Also at 94% Occupancy Rate

Air Busan has started operations with high load factors on its two new routes from Incheon to Sapporo and Bohol.

Air Busan announced on the 28th that it launched the Incheon-Sapporo and Incheon-Bohol routes on the 23rd, recording high load factors of 94% for Incheon-Sapporo and 99% for Incheon-Bohol from the very first flights.

The Incheon-Sapporo route is currently operated by multiple domestic airlines besides Air Busan, making it a highly competitive route among carriers.

Despite this market environment, Air Busan explained that the strong start and the reservation rate already exceeding 70% for early July reaffirm their position as the strongest player on the Japan routes, creating an encouraging atmosphere internally.

The atmosphere is similar for the Incheon-Bohol route. Although this route is located not far from Cebu, a famous travel destination in the Philippines, it is relatively less known domestically, and currently, few airlines operate direct flights on this route in Korea.

On this route, Air Busan recorded nearly full capacity from the first flight, and the reservation rate for the peak season in July and August has already surpassed 94%, according to an Air Busan official.

An Air Busan representative stated, “Based on our advantage at hub airports, we plan to continuously expand routes in the high-demand metropolitan market to increase corporate value.”

To commemorate the new Incheon-Bohol route, Air Busan will hold a special in-flight duty-free premium whiskey discount event for passengers flying the Bohol route from July 1 to August 31.

The three discounted whiskeys are ▲ Kavalan VinoBarrique Solist 1ℓ ▲ Glenfiddich Perpetual Collection VAT4 18 Years ▲ Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey 1ℓ, each available at a 30% discount during the event period.
