Jeju Air Also Flies Incheon~Bali... Daily Flights Starting Late October
Joint Operation Commences with Indonesia Lion Air
Jeju Air will operate the Incheon~Bali route daily from the end of October this year in partnership with Indonesia's Lion Air.
On the 4th (local time), Jeju Air announced that it signed a 'Transport Agreement for Codeshare Flights on the Incheon~Bali and Batam Routes' with the Lion Air Group at the Fairmont Hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia.
After obtaining flight permits from both governments, Jeju Air plans to operate the Incheon~Bali route seven times a week (daily) starting with the upcoming winter flight schedule (from October 27). The route will be served by Jeju Air's next-generation aircraft, the B737-8. Tickets will be available for purchase through the sales channels of both airlines at a later date. The Incheon~Bali route has been known as a popular route exclusively operated by Korean Air.
This launch became possible after the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport held aviation talks with the Indonesian government in February and increased the number of international flights between the two countries. In particular, for the high-demand Bali route, flights can be operated without limit if a codeshare agreement is signed between designated airlines of both countries, regardless of the ownership of traffic rights.
Kim I-bae, CEO of Jeju Air, said, "The introduction of the next-generation B737-8 aircraft and the modernization of our fleet made it possible to enter the Indonesian market this time," adding, "Based on proactive investments unique to Jeju Air, we are securing core competitiveness that no competitor can catch up with and accumulating capabilities for the next stage."

Meanwhile, through the regular allocation of traffic rights by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport on the 26th of last month, Jeju Air secured the right to operate the Incheon~Batam route three times a week. Batam is a route that can attract inbound passengers traveling to Korea not only from domestic tourism demand but also from Indonesia as well as neighboring countries such as Singapore and Malaysia, including transfer passengers. Jeju Air plans to launch this route within the year through collaboration with the Lion Air Group.
