Air Premia to Add Four More Aircraft by Q3 Next Year

Securing One Additional Backup Engine

Air Premia will sequentially introduce four Boeing 787-9 aircraft from the end of this year through the third quarter of next year.

On the 29th, Air Premia announced that it will acquire four Boeing 787-9 aircraft from the global aircraft leasing company 'Peach Walters.' These aircraft are mid-to-long-haul models capable of flying over 15,000 km, with improved durability and comfort features such as cabin pressure and humidity compared to the older B787 models.

The aircraft are scheduled to be delivered sequentially from the end of this year to the third quarter of next year. Starting January next year, they will be deployed on new routes to the Americas and Southeast Asia.

In addition, one spare engine has been secured to enable a faster response in case of engine abnormalities. Accordingly, by the third quarter of next year, Air Premia will have nine aircraft and two spare engines.

The newly introduced aircraft will be configured with premium economy and economy seats. Before delivery, interior improvements such as seat cover replacements will be made, and after delivery, seat spacing adjustments will be carried out sequentially depending on fleet operation conditions.

An Air Premia official stated, "Securing a new fleet proactively amid high demand for medium-to-large aircraft is very meaningful," adding, "We will do our best to safely operate various routes to meet travelers' expectations and demands."
