Jeju Air Launches New Service Between Busan and Ulaanbaatar Three Times a Week

Jeju Air announced that starting from the 24th, it will newly operate a route between Busan and Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, Saturday).

After launching the Incheon-Ulaanbaatar route in June last year, the airline has expanded to Busan after about a year. In the regular route allocation in May, Jeju Air obtained the rights from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to operate the Incheon-Ulaanbaatar route four times a week (once during peak season, three times during off-season) and the Busan-Ulaanbaatar route three times a week.

On the 24th, at Gimhae International Airport, Jeong Jae-pil, Head of Commercial Division at Jeju Air (center in the photo), and other officials attending the inaugural flight ceremony for Jeju Air's new Busan-Ulaanbaatar route are taking a commemorative photo with the crew of the new flight.

Jeju Air secured operating rights for routes connecting Korea and Mongolia with five flights during peak season, three flights during off-season, and three flights year-round. The company stated that this is the highest level among Korean carriers. Utilizing the allocated operating rights, Jeju Air increased flights on the Incheon-Ulaanbaatar route starting from the 10th of this month.

Previously, the airline operated a total of 106 flights on the Incheon-Ulaanbaatar route for three months from June 29 to September 29 last year. It transported about 17,300 passengers with a load factor of approximately 86%. Since resuming flights on this route from June 1, the load factor was about 94% in June and about 95% from July 1 to 24.
