Aero K Strengthens Cooperation With Japanese Local Governments... "Stabilizing Routes From Cheongju"

Officials from Major Airports and Local Governments Visit Cheongju
Discussions on Joint Promotions and Route Activation

Aero K Airlines announced on February 4 that it has been strengthening cooperation with major Japanese airports and local governments, continuing discussions to ensure the stable establishment and growth of routes from Cheongju to Japan.

Recently, officials from airports, tourism organizations, and local governments across Japan, including Kitakyushu, Nagoya, Hiroshima, and Obihiro, visited Cheongju to review the performance of Aero K Airlines' route operations. This visit suggests that routes from Cheongju to Japan have moved beyond the simple launch phase to a stage where Japanese airport corporations and local governments are visiting in person to discuss measures to boost traffic.

Specific discussions were conducted in line with the characteristics of each route.

The agenda included: further activation and stabilization of the Kitakyushu route; sharing the results of the first-anniversary popup event for the Nagoya route; promotion strategies for the Hiroshima route in the summer season; and continued operation of the Obihiro route along with expanded tourism exchanges between Cheongju City and Obihiro City.

Officials from Hokkaido Airports also visited Cheongju to review the operational status of the Cheongju-Chitose and Cheongju-Obihiro routes and exchanged views on the potential for additional routes to destinations such as Hakodate and Asahikawa. During this process, they also discussed the medium- to long-term direction of cooperation between the Hokkaido region and Cheongju Airport.

Japanese officials showed strong interest in promotional methods linked with local governments in the Chungcheong region, the tourism industry, and shopping centers. An Aero K representative said, "Based on these discussions, we plan to gradually pursue not only the stable operation of our Japanese routes, but also the expansion of tourism exchanges and the review of additional routes."
