Air Busan will operate irregular flights on the Busan-Japan Toyama route starting from October 11.


The irregular flights will operate six round trips from October 11 to 26, departing from Gimhae International Airport at 1:40 PM and arriving at Toyama Airport at 3:00 PM.


The return flight departs from the local airport at 4:20 PM and arrives at Gimhae International Airport at 6:00 PM, with a flight time of approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes. A 232-seat A321neo aircraft will be deployed for the Busan-Toyama irregular flights.


Toyama is a famous travel destination in Japan known for its scenic natural landscapes and the snow wall sightseeing of the "Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route." It is also adjacent to Nagano Prefecture, where "Suwa Lake," the setting of the popular Japanese animation hit "Your Name," is located, allowing visitors to enjoy both regions together.


Additionally, Toyama has many tourist attractions such as the "Kurobe Gorge," Japan's deepest V-shaped gorge, and the "Shirakawago Gassho Village," making it a preferred area for travelers who enjoy unique sightseeing in Japan's small towns.

Air Busan stated that the Busan-Toyama route had very high passenger satisfaction when it operated in May, and due to the high demand from travelers waiting for direct flights, additional irregular flights have been scheduled.


An Air Busan official said, "As the trend of tourism to small towns in Japan spreads, the number of travelers seeking direct flights to small towns is rapidly increasing. We will actively operate irregular flights according to the best travel seasons for each route to further enhance travel convenience for local residents."



Reservations and purchases for the Busan-Toyama irregular flights are available through travel agencies 'Hanatour,' 'Modetour,' 'Yeohaengbaksa,' and 'Lotte Tour.'
